0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom Podcast, Episode 289, Grief, Sadness, and Joy, Lessons from Inside Out.
0:10.8	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.7	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:33.3	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast.
0:36.9	I'm recording this a little bit before
0:39.0	Thanksgiving, well, actually the day before Thanksgiving. So that just in case,
0:44.4	I don't want to work on Monday, I don't have to because otherwise it would be due on Monday
0:50.6	to get it turned and ready for you on what is now December 9th, if you are listening
0:56.8	to this on the day that it actually releases. I've been thinking about doing a couple of episodes
1:02.7	specifically on Disney Pixar's Inside Out movies, Inside Out and Inside Out 2. And we're finally here. I decided it's time to do it. So in this

1:25.5	information to support ourselves in grief. So it's not really a
1:29.2	metaphor for grief, but I just think it's so useful in grief because the movie illustrates so
1:36.3	much about how our emotions can work together, how no emotions are bad, what happens when we
1:41.0	try to shut emotions out. And so that's what I wanted to talk to you about today.
1:45.9	If you have not listened to my episode 265, Smiling at Sadness, you might want to listen to that one too.
1:54.0	I talked about some very similar themes and referenced the movie quite a bit. That episode was all about
1:59.6	smiling at sadness when that may not be
2:02.3	our first inclination. So I would recommend that you go back and check it out. I also want you to
2:08.6	really pay attention to these next two episodes, especially if you're noticing that you're
2:13.4	struggling with the holidays. If you're listening to this when it drops, then, you know,
