131. Better Than Certainty with Derek Myers
"A loss of relationship, a death, living with chronic illness, or whatever it may be - these things are challenging to any sort of framework that promises certainty."
Becoming curious is a central tenant of Restorative Grief, but how often do we truly indulge our curiosity when it comes to allow our faith and beliefs to evolve? Listen as Derek Myers of Your Favorite Heretics shares his story of growth and perspective that allowed for true healing.

127. Transformation & Flourishing with Mike Maeshiro
"Straight people's discomfort is not the same as a queer person's pain."
This week, our grief story is expanding into the world of queer advocacy and embracing the loss of community, relationships, security, and identity...all for the sake of transformation.
Mike Maeshiro is the founder of Numa, an organization that supports people recovering from religious toxicity. Whether you identify as queer or not, this conversation is a bold invitation into the role of advocate and grief supporter from a perspective you may not have considered before.

Great show
I learned more about “Toxic Positivity” while listening to a few episodes.. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and for the encouraging work that you are doing
The title spoke to me
Hello Mandy, Several things occurred to me as I was listening. First, how children don’t over think their emotions. I also think that our pets can be great examples of mindful emotions. Feeling things freely. People have often said my writing has a child like wonder to it combined with honesty. When you talked about feeling better simply by watching videos of people laughing, I thought about the whole tickle me Elmo thing. As a blind person and a large man I often feel restricted from being angry or at least from showing it. Also, I am blind. I once told people blind people don’t generally break or throw things because we would end up on our knees crawling around looking for the pieces. I love what you said about tolerance. I think I have way too much patience, tolerance, and forgiveness for my own good sometimes.. I appreciate the work you put into your show and wish you all the best, Maxwell #TheBlindBlogger
Therapy in a podcast
