Assumptions

Special guest entrepreneur and filmmaker Sashka Avanyan joins our hosts for a chat about ways in which assumptions are tied to the grieving process. Too often we’re told by people outside our experience what the experience is like for us: what it means, what it feels like, what it should feel like. Our own assumptions ("I will never be happy", "I am alone/abandoned", etc.) can cause misunderstandings within ourselves and can set ourselves up for negativity. We also often assume the “normal” steps in the grieving process and feel crazy or even more depressed when our situation seems different. In this episode we outline all these types of assumptions and brainstorm ways in which we can overcome them. Thanks for listening and give this episode a share if you enjoyed!

Self-Care

Self-care: the term has become mainstream, but what does it really mean? In this episode, we explore why it it important to take care of yourself before others, especially on your journey from grief to purpose. We also included a special segment: various interviews with family and friends on how they practice self-care. Listen for yourself, the responses are wonderful!

Plans

What happens when plans fall apart, and how are we supposed to deal with that? In this latest episode of Spiritual Alchemy, we discuss planning—reviewing everything from the frontal lobe to dysfunctional group planning to making a plan to find purpose after grief. We also explore moments where planning can get in the way and is not a good idea… Don't forget to leave us a voice message on the Anchor app to ask us a question and you will be featured in a future episode!

Mood

In this episode, we explore ways that temporary mood and ever-present grief are intertwined. Being mindful of your reaction to stimuli, making a decision to think differently, realizing that you may be on "autopilot" response (based on the known past)—all of this gets back to intention and fulfillment and to mindfulness. Mindful intention to mood can be like being in a play—going into character. You can put yourself into a bad mood by thought alone. You can get to a "happy place" by though alone, too. We genuinely hope that episodes like these are able to help you through your grief to purpose journey.
