  1. Surviving Stage 4 Cancer and the Unimaginable Loss of a Son to Suicide with Andy Campbell

    Surviving Stage 4 Cancer and the Unimaginable Loss of a Son to Suicide with Andy Campbell

    Andy Campbell is a resilient survivor and inspirational author who has overcome numerous life-altering challenges—a victim of childhood sexual abuse and bullying, the loss of his mother at an early age, and the eventual estrangement from his father, his battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and the loss of his youngest son to suicide. Despite enduring multiple surgeries, grueling chemotherapy treatments, and the tragic loss of his youngest child, he has demonstrated remarkable strength and perseverance, and developed a deep understanding of resilience and knows firsthand what it takes to overcome monumental challenges. To share with others what he has learned through his experiences, Andy has written Overcoming Life’s Toughest Setbacks: 15 Breakthrough Core Beliefs to Transform Challenges into Opportunities!. In this book readers can access actionable insights from the 15 Core Beliefs crafted to empower us to navigate through life’s labyrinth. Your journey from experiencing life’s storms to dancing in its rain unfolds in this book’s insightful examples. www.askandycampbell.com Show Notes: Essential Topics The Power of the Physician: Andy details the need to seek a true "physician"—one with "insatiable curiosity" who partners with the patient—rather than a statistic-focused doctor. A New Approach to Illness: Andy deliberately chooses to "struggle against" cancer, viewing the cells as defective rather than malicious, which helped him manage anger and cortisol levels. The Metastasizing Pain of Suicide: He discusses the shift from feeling parental guilt to realizing he had "zero control" over his son’s decision. Andy explains the horrific truth that the pain of suicide does not end with the person but "metastasizes" onto remaining loved ones "like a cancer". Putting Your Helmet On: A core life philosophy: you must "put your helmet on before you need it" by engaging in health, mental health, and physical care before crisis hits. Irreplaceable Threads: Andy emphasizes that every human is an "irreplaceable thread in the fabric of the universe" and encourages listeners to struggle to stay alive and leave an aspirational legacy. The 15 Core Beliefs: These phrases act as the "rope bridge" that connects a person from complete devastation back to making slow progress. Final Wisdom: "Do not take out of the creator’s hands the ability to move the universe in your favor".To find out more information about working with Kendra Rinaldi https://www.griefgratitudeandthegrayinbetween.com/event-details/lets-connect-15-minute-discovery-call To be a guest on the podcast https://www.griefgratitudeandthegrayinbetween.com/book-online

  2. Are the Signs I'm Seeing Real?

    ٣ أكتوبر - المشتركون فقط

    Are the Signs I'm Seeing Real?

    In this solo episode, I open up about the subtle and powerful signs that help me feel connected to my mom and sister—those moments that seem to whisper, “I’m still here.” Whether it’s a song, a scent, a dream, or a perfectly timed coincidence, these experiences have brought comfort, clarity, and a sense of presence in the midst of grief. I also explore the tension that can arise when others question the reality of these signs. Are they real? Imagined? Does it matter? What I’ve come to realize is that the most important part isn’t proving anything—it’s how these moments make us feel. As grievers, we’re constantly navigating the space between memory and meaning, and sometimes, a small sign can feel like a lifeline. This episode is an invitation to honor your own experiences, trust your intuition, and embrace the ways your loved ones might still be showing up for you.

  3. Will I Ever Feel Normal Again?

    ٣ أكتوبر - المشتركون فقط

    Will I Ever Feel Normal Again?

    “Will I ever feel normal again?” It’s the question I hear most often—from my coaching clients, from listeners, and from those quietly navigating the depths of grief. And when I looked it up, it turns out it’s one of the most common questions asked by grievers everywhere. In this episode, I explore what we really mean by “normal.” Is it a return to who we were before loss? Or is it something new we’re learning to live with? I share personal reflections and insights on how grief reshapes our sense of self, and why the idea of “normal” might be more fluid than we think. Change is always happening. We are constantly evolving—sometimes gently, sometimes painfully—and grief is part of that transformation. This episode is an invitation to honor your process, question the pressure to “bounce back,” and embrace the truth that healing doesn’t mean going back…it means moving forward with grace.

    A Mother Grieving Her Young-Adult Son's Death with Sally McQuillen

    Sally McQuillen, LCSW, CADC, is a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in addiction recovery, grief and trauma healing. An avid reader with a double major in writing and dance criticism in college, she began working in public relations and marketing prior to obtaining her master’s degree in social work. Reaching for Beautiful is Sally’s first book. She and her husband live on the north shore of Chicago where they raised their three children. https://www.sallymcquillen.com/  Key topics in this conversation include: The Nature of Grief: Sally describes grief as a complex experience where many deep emotions can exist at once. She and Kendra discuss how past losses don't always prepare you for new ones, and even with coping tools, they may not be accessible in the moment of trauma. A Family's Journey with Addiction: Sally opens up about the legacy of addiction in her family, from her father to her own recovery, and finally to her son's struggles. She shares how she became fully transparent about her past when Christopher needed help at age 16. The Loss of Christopher: Christopher passed away in a canoeing accident with three friends during a college break. After being sober for three years, he had relapsed, wanting to fit in with his fraternity brothers. The tragedy of multiple families losing their children at once was an overwhelming and traumatic experience. Parenting from Love Over Fear: Sally reflects on parenting Christopher from a state of "fight or flight" and emphasizes the importance of parents calming their own nervous systems. She found that consciously letting go of fear deepened her connection with her son before he passed away. Signs and Hope: Sally's belief that Christopher is still alive in spirit has been fundamental to her survival. A pivotal conversation on an airplane introduced her to A Course in Miracles, which reinforced her path of choosing love over fear. Honoring Christopher's Legacy: Sally and her family keep Christopher's memory alive by supporting two charities in his name: The Penguin Project for young adults with special needs and the In Balance Ranch Academy, which provides scholarships for addiction treatment. A Message of Hope: Sally offers a powerful message to any parent who has lost a child: the loss is survivable, even when it feels impossible. She aims to offer hope to others walking this difficult path.Contact Kendra Rinaldi to be a guest on the podcast  Inquire about a Free Discovery Coaching Call with Kendra Rinaldi

    Writing for Her Inner Child with Randi Pearlman Wolfson

    Randi Pearlman Wolfson is a Los Angeles based grief educator and author. After experiencing the death of her dad when she was ten years old, it became her life-long dream to provide hope and healing to grieving children and adults. For over twenty years, she has educated the community, including mental health professionals, clergy, students, teachers, and various other professionals, on the topic of grief. As founder/writer at Grief & GRITS™ on Facebook and Instagram, Randi provides a caring heart and voice for little grievers™ and adult grievers. She is the author of “Eddie’s Brave Journey: How one little elephant learned all about grief” a story for the littlest of grieving hearts. To learn more about her book please go to: EddiesBraveJourney.com Show Highlights Meet Randi Pearlman Wolfson: Introducing Randi, the founder of the popular grief community Grief and Grits and author of the children's book, Eddie's Brave Journey. A Lifelong Griever: Randi shares how the death her father when she was 10 in 1966 shaped her life, combining her personal experience with over a decade of professional work in the grief space. Writing for Her Inner Child: Randi's book, Eddie's Brave Journey, was written for her own 10-year-old self. In 1966, there were no children's grief books, so she created the resource she never had. The Story of Eddie: The book follows a little elephant named Eddie grieving his grandpa. Elephants were chosen because they are known to grieve as a community. The story uses direct language like "died" and teaches kids they can hold two feelings at once. Grief in Everyday Moments: Randi and Kendra discuss how small, daily disappointments (like a meal not turning out right or a friend canceling) are also forms of grief, and how these can be used to teach children about loss before they experience a major death. Talking About Grief Isn't Always Sad: Randi explains that creating a safe space for grief to "come out" is one of the greatest honors of her life and not inherently sad. Identifying as a "Little Griever": One of Randi's missions is to help adults who experienced the death of a parent in childhood identify as "little grievers," validating how that  continues to shape them.Contact Kendra Rinaldi at griefgratitudepodcast@gmail.com for more information about how to schedule a coaching call To book a podcast https://www.griefgratitudeandthegrayinbetween.com/book-online

    Dating After Loss: Finding Love Again with Donna Meador

    DonnA Meador is a women's dating coach, author, and speaker who helps smart, soulful women over 50 find love again without repeating old patterns or sacrificing who they are. At 66, DonnA has walked the path of love, loss, and rediscovery. She became a widow at 57 when her late husband, Pietro, passed away suddenly just 15 days after his 70th birthday. As a self-proclaimed "dating intuitive," DonnA combines her strong intuition with lived experience to see beneath the surface, sense the energy behind choices, and guide women to trust their inner knowing. Her own journey of navigating "grief brain" and learning to open her heart to love a second time—she is now happily remarried to her husband, Jeff—gives her a unique and compassionate perspective on dating after loss. DonnA is the author of the book "Dating, It's Not Personal," which she began writing in 2004 and published in 2014 as a love story dedicated to Pietro. She is also the creator of the YouTube channel Smart Dating Divas, where she and her husband Jeff share dating advice and a man's perspective. Her core mission is to help women understand and embrace their immense value in relationships, reminding them to "look for love where it is and not where it isn't". Through her coaching, book, and online presence, DonnA empowers women to reconnect with their feminine wisdom, reclaim joy, and attract love that meets them soul-to-soul. https://smartdatingdivas.com/    https://www.facebook.com/donna.s.meador https://www.linkedin.com/in/dbsmeador/   https://www.instagram.com/smartdatingdivas/ Interview Highlights • Sudden Loss & a Love Story: Donna shares her ten-year love story with her late husband, Pietro, who passed away suddenly from a heart attack and stroke while receiving cancer treatment. • The Power of Declaration: Pietro had often declared he'd be happy to make it to 70 and didn't want to suffer. He passed away 15 days after his 70th birthday, getting everything he had declared, departing with hope in his heart. • Receiving Support: A key piece of advice for the grieving: "allow people to love you the way they know how." Donna's community showed up with food and practical help because she was open to receiving it, even when she was too overwhelmed to ask. • Navigating "Grief Brain": For nearly two years, Donna experienced "grief brain," which made her unable to perform simple tasks like reading a menu. • Finding Love a Second Time: Donna discusses the challenge of opening her heart again, wondering, "How could I possibly fall in love when I'm already in love?". She explains that the heart simply grows to make room for more love and is now happily married to Jeff. • A Continued Spiritual Connection: Donna shares that she still communicates with Pietro in his non-physical form and that he has even appeared to her now-husband, Jeff, as a spirit guide, offering his blessing and support. • Donna's Core Message: Her passion is to help women understand their immense value in relationships. Her biggest tip is to "look for love where it is and not where it isn't". Contact Kendra Rinaldi to be a guest on the podcast.

    Hospice Nurse Julie: Navigating Death, Grief, and Life's Transitions with Julie McFadden

    JULIE MCFADDEN, RN, is the New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to Fear  and a hospice/palliative care nurse with more than fifteen years of experience. Passionate about normalizing death and dying, she has more than one million followers on TikTok as @hospicenursejulie. She has been featured in Newsweek, Time, USA Today, and The Atlantic, and has appeared on Dr. Phil Primetime, Howie Mandel Does Stuff, and elsewhere.  Her most recent book THE NOTHING TO FEAR JOURNAL is an invaluable tool for putting our beliefs about death into practice through thought-provoking questions that prompt reflection, clarification, and planning. Interview Highlights: • Introducing Hospice Nurse Julie: Meet Julie McFadden, an RN known as "Hospice Nurse Julie" on TikTok (1.6M+ followers) and a New York Times bestselling author of "Nothing to Fear" and "Nothing to Fear Journal" • Breakups as Grief: She shares how a painful breakup at 28-29 was a "greatest gift," fostering self-discovery and growth, and how breakups represent profound, often unvalidated grief and transitions. • Fear of Transition: Kendra and Julie explore how fear of the unknown, not death itself, makes life transitions scary, and criticize society's "fix-it" culture that avoids uncomfortable emotions. • Finding Hospice: Unhappy in the ICU, Julie "took the plunge" into hospice nursing, even without prior experience, finding her calling and realizing the environment, not nursing itself, was the issue. • Personal Beliefs on Death: Julie, having experienced tragic deaths young, believes we go to a place that feels "more like home" after death, a belief validated by her hospice work, though she emphasizes it's a personal journey. Faith can aid in peaceful dying, but is not a prerequisite; she's seen atheists die peacefully and religious people struggle. • TikTok Phenomenon: Inspired by her nieces during COVID-19, Julie started TikTok, initially thinking it "stupid".

The "Nothing to Fear Journal" offers step-by-step guidance for preparing for death, exploring existential questions, and uncovering personal belief. • Comfort in Biology: The most comforting aspect of death for Julie is the biology of the body, how it naturally prepares by shutting off hunger/thirst and increasing calcium, which she sees as a miracle and the primary reason she is not afraid of death.
