Trudi is no stranger to loss. Every decade brought about death starting as a child with losing her brother, then her father and ex in her 20s and losing her mom in her 30s. She has felt alone, lost trust, and lost her ability to even feel pain. The compounded grief left her overwhelmed and feeling like an outsider to peers who couldn’t comprehend her story.

In this episode, we discuss how grief shows up. Feels like shit and is normal! We have an open conversation about the power of allowing and witnessing grief in order to process and heal, moving through the pain so you don’t get stuck in the suffering. And with all of this loss, what would Trudi tell her former self … it does get better. There will be another season! Be sure to listen to learn how.

Dry January? Thinking it’s time to take a look at your relationship with alcohol? Join me and health coach and friend, Jessica, for this candid conversation about our journey with alcohol. We wanted to share our personal stories about alcohol rather than from a coaching perspective and how alcohol is affecting us. Yes, we work with people around their relationship with alcohol, but this is OUR story and how we are better because of choosing to live sober and alcohol-free.
