Listen to this podcast

-Ann Swanson, Author of Meditation for the Real World
Beautiful podcast on a really important theme!
Amanda has created a very deep and potent collectively healing podcast exploring how transformative moving through grief can be. She is a gifted interviewer who holds space for deep, meaningful conversation with her guests. She is thoughtful, smart and so kind! Thanks for your hard work, Amanda!
Wonderful!
This podcast is not your typical “self help” podcast. I am fortunate enough to not have experienced a lot of what is talked about first hand, but I’ve found myself the support person in almost every experience discussed. The support role is hard as typically we have no idea what someone is going through or how to help.
I find this podcast extremely insightful and helpful for me to hear and understand even a 1/100th of what someone is going through so I can feel better prepared or better able to understand grief from the experiencer’s POV.
As this is something everyone will experience first hand at some point but often second hand. It is definitely worth a listen! It will give you information and knowledge you didn’t even know you needed. And Amanda does a wonderful job hosting this!
