E58. Healing When You Don't Know How Much You're Hurting with Health Coach Heather Sayers Lehman

Send us a text

We all know how hard change and loss can be. 😞

The emotions are overwhelming, and things feel out of control, so we do many things to feel in control.

Plot twist: controlling things is usually not helpful because we don’t just need to “feel” in control.

We need to acknowledge what we’ve lost and mourn.

In this episode, we’ll peel back the onion of grief and discover that we grieve many things throughout our lives. 

We often look at grief as something that we will experience after someone dies, and while yes this is true, grief also shows up in our lives in many other ways. 

Grief can come in the form of any loss or change in your life, such as the loss of a person, a child, a relationship, your health, and so much more. 

I talk through the grief that I am currently experiencing regarding my dad, the cognitive decline that he is experiencing, and how I am now grieving the dad that I have always known while growing up. 

I will walk you through my four-step approach to working through the grieving process: acknowledging what you are going through, becoming curious about your feelings, showing yourself compassion, and then focusing on your own self-care.

I hope this episode helps if you are currently experiencing grief, and I hope that the next time you grieve something, you can remember to take care of yourself during those moments. ♥️
