Summary

#237: With transitions come grief, and whether it relates to death or non-death losses, it’s a topic we don’t talk about enough.

Tune in today to hear three brilliant experts on grief, Briana Simmons, Charlene Lam, and Krista St-Germain, share their expertise on why we suck at grief, and how we can begin grieving in a nervous-system-based and somatically-embodied way. You’ll hear what we need to increase our capacity to grieve, why this process will be unique to each and every person, and how we can support ourselves through grief spirals.

0:00.0	This is feminist wellness and I'm your host nurse practitioner functional medicine expert and life coach Victoria Albina.
0:15.0	I'll show you how to get unstuck, drop the anxiety, perfectionism and codependency so you can live from your beautiful heart.
0:22.0	Welcome, my love. let's get started.
0:28.8	Hello, my love. I hope this finds you doing so well. This week on the show we are going to be talking
0:36.7	about a topic near and dear to my heart which is grief. As many of you know I was a hospice nurse for a hot little minute in San Francisco
0:45.8	at the Zen center, the Zen Buddhist center's hospice there in the lower hate. It was an absolutely
0:52.1	beautiful magical incredible experience for which I am so grateful.
0:57.0	I deeply believe that a huge part of my path and the reason why I'm here on this planet in this current incarnation is to be of service to those in transition.

1:50.4	guiding lights in my path.
1:52.3	It's similar to the work I do as a coach all day with my clients and
1:56.1	anchored and the work I teach my clients about in the somatic studio. What we're working on
2:02.2	is transitions, is shifting from one pattern within our nervous system,
2:07.2	one way of thinking, one way of being into another, rewriting the narrative, the story of our lives, which is what Birth in Death does, right?
2:16.7	And I love being there for those transitions. I love being part of the shepherding,
