Uncomfortable Friend
Grief is an Uncomfortable Friend. The pain can be unbearable and yet, it's often one of the few things remain after the loss of someone so special. Join me on the journey of "now what" after everything falls apart. My mission is to authentically share my story in an effort to help others feel seen, develop vocabulary around their grief, discuss finding oneself after loss, ways to feel comfort, how to establish meaning, find hope, embrace continued connection, and more. Nothing is off-limits… everyone’s path is unique. I’m honored to have you join me and look forward to your questions, comments, personal stories, and observations. Until we meet again...

Suffering Well
During mass this weekend, Fr. Bryan had a moving homily around suffering... how life is full of it, and yet, we can find ways to suffer well. Suffering well doesn't mean that we suffer less... it means suffering with purpose, dignity, and awareness. Today I dive into 5 core methods of suffering well. All of them share threads through each of my episodes whether it's been my own thoughts or the shared experiences of my amazing guests. I hope in hearing more around what suffering can look like, and how it can bring deeper meaning for you, you can find the broader human experience... the connection we all have, and feel a little less alone.
As a side note, this is my last episode of Season 2 - 2024. I'll be taking the next few months to work through some challenges at work, start reading a bit more, and interviewing some amazing people for season 3. I look forward to sharing again in 2025. If you'd like to be a guest, have an idea for the show, or would like to offer some words of encouragement, please use the "text the show" feature and include your name, number and/or email, and a brief message and I'll get back to you!
