    Navigating Grief, Emotional Resilience, and Self-Care After Loss

    Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, sits again with Kirsten OConnor, author of The Year After Kahlia and found of thisisgrief.nz, for a conversation among two friends, as they explore the realities of grief, emotional resilience, and learning how to care for yourself through loss. Together, they discuss the ways grief impacts daily life, the importance of rituals and self-compassion, and how healing often unfolds in messy, non-linear ways. This candid episode offers comfort, validation, and grounded insights for anyone navigating heartbreak, bereavement, emotional exhaustion, or major life transitions. Grief often makes people believe they must "push through" or return to normal quickly, but healing usually begins with smaller, gentler acts of care. Choose one grounding ritual this week — journaling, lighting a candle, taking a walk, listening to music, or checking in with your emotions without judgment — and allow it to become a moment of connection rather than performance. Small, repeated acts of self-compassion help rebuild safety and resilience over time.   * Emotionally Unavailable is produced 100% in-house.

    Introducing How to Build a Million-Dollar Portfolio Starting From Nothing | Graham Stephan from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Graham Stephan was relentless about one thing before he had anything else: not spending money he did not have to spend. He calculated the gas cost of visiting a friend and decided it was not worth it. Most people would call that extreme. He calls it the foundation. The habits he built early, consistency, focus, and ruthless saving, did not feel heroic in the moment. They felt boring. But boring done every single day is what compounded into real estate commissions, YouTube income, and an investment portfolio split evenly between property, index funds, and cash. What he did not do was wait until he felt ready. He held off on starting his YouTube channel for years because he did not have a Lamborghini like the other guys. When he finally started, none of that mattered. The deeper conversation here is about what money actually means once you have enough of it. Graham is not chasing a bigger number. He wants to buy back his time, to read a book on a Tuesday if he feels like it. That shift from accumulation to freedom is where this episode gets genuinely interesting. Graham on YouTube Graham’s website Graham on Instagram In this episode you will: Discover the three specific habits Graham used to go from nothing to his first million and why saving was the most underrated one Learn how he structures his investments today across real estate, index funds, and cash, and the simple daily routine he uses to stay consistent Understand why waiting until you feel credible is the trap that keeps most people from ever starting Rethink what you believe about renting versus buying a home and when each choice actually makes financial sense Shift how you think about the end goal of building wealth, from hitting a number to designing a life that gives you your time back For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1925 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Lewis Howes Solo [From $0-1M in 2026] Glennda Baker Dave Ramsey Get more from Lewis!  Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

    The Quiet Work Of Surviving Grief: Living Within Childloss

    In this deeply personal episode, Malisa Hepner shares her raw and unfiltered journey through grief after the loss of her son Jake to a synthetic opioid overdose. She opens up about the unpredictable waves of emotion, the tension between functioning and falling apart, and the quiet, daily choices that help her stay connected to herself. This conversation explores what it really looks like to live inside grief—without rushing it, fixing it, or performing it—and how small, aligned actions can become anchors in the midst of overwhelming pain. When everything feels too heavy, shift your focus from "getting through" the grief to simply staying connected to yourself in the moment. Choose one small, grounding action each day—whether it's naming what you feel, stepping outside for fresh air, or offering yourself a moment of compassion—and let that be enough. Over time, these small acts create a quiet stability that supports you without forcing you to move faster than your heart is ready for.   * Emotionally Unavailable is produced 100% in-house.

    When Overthinking Takes Over: How to Ground Yourself and Come Back to You

    In this episode, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, explores the quiet intensity of overthinking and what it's really trying to protect. Through a blend of lived experience and practical tools, she walks you through how to interrupt spirals, reconnect to your body, and create space between you and your thoughts. This conversation isn't about controlling your mind—it's about understanding it, softening it, and learning how to come home to yourself when everything feels loud. The next time you notice yourself spiraling, pause and ask: "What am I actually feeling underneath this?" Then do three things in order: Name the feeling (not the story—just the emotion). Place a hand on your body where you feel it most and breathe into that space. Remind yourself: "I can feel this without solving it right now." This shifts you out of the loop of thinking and back into the experience of being—where regulation actually begins.   * Emotionally Unavailable is produced 100% in-house.

    From Trauma to Awakening: Somatic Healing, Nervous System Regulation, and Emotional Resilience

    In this powerful episode, Annie Brook, a somatic psychologist, shares her journey through trauma, spiritual awakening, and deep healing. Together, we explore how early life experiences shape the nervous system, why the body holds what the mind tries to move past, and how true healing requires reconnection—not just understanding. Annie offers grounded, practical tools to help you regulate your nervous system, build emotional resilience, and gently return to your body as a place of safety. This conversation bridges science and spirituality in a way that feels both accessible and deeply transformative. The next time you feel overwhelmed, pause and place one hand on your body—your chest, your stomach, wherever feels natural—and simply notice. Not fix. Not analyze. Just notice what's there. Then ask yourself: What does my body need right now to feel even 1% safer? Let the answer be simple, and let that be enough.   * Emotionally Unavailable is produced 100% in-house.
