Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.

Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. I just had the coolest event at my house ever.

I mean, well, maybe people aren't going to like hearing that if they've been to my house before

this weekend. But oh my gosh, it was the best event. On Saturday, we had 11 of my clients come to my

house and we celebrated them, we pampered them, we did hair and

makeup. I brought in my amazing videographer Matt all the way from Utah and my favorite photographer

Casey, who just does phenomenal work. And we took their pictures and told their stories. And then we

took them out to dinner in a limo, a Hummer, mind you. It was huge.

And I took them to the same restaurant where Hugo and I got married, which is always a really

cool experience for me. And then on Sunday, they all came back and we coached in my living

room all day long. And it was amazing. It was powerful. I love coaching and I love coaching online, but wow,

there was something about coaching in person that was absolutely just amazing. So if you came,

I am so glad that you came. I am so proud of how you showed up for yourself. If you missed it,

don't worry, we're going to do it

again. Now that I've got the taste of what that's like, that's definitely happening again,

coaching in my living room for sure. But it's so, so good. I'm kind of coming off of the high.

But I've got to get this podcast out to you all. So it's going to be kind of a short one. I really want to talk to you, though. Listen to me,

please. And you might be in a space where you're early in grief and you're not ready for this yet,

and that's okay, you can come back later. But I want to talk about how good isn't great. And sometimes

what sparks this and what gets me so fired up is that I will get an email and it will say something like, you know, I'm doing better now. I'm not in so much pain. And so I don't think I need your program. Or somebody will say, you know, I think other people probably need this more than I do. And, you know, then when I ask them how they're doing, they will say, well, you know, I think I'm through the worst of it, so I probably don't need any help. Ah, I feel so conflicted when people say that.
