It's really hard to feel like you can move through something that feels hard, impossible, painful, lonely.

If you don't feel like there's at least one other person in the world who is saying, yeah, this is hard. I see you in this.

Hey, hey, Emily Abadi here coming to you from the AG studio. You are listening to Hurdle.

A wellness focused podcast where I connect with everyone from your favorite athletes to top experts and industry CEOs about their highest highs, toughest moments, and everything in between.

We all go through hurdles in life and my goal through these discussions is to empower you to better navigate yours and move with intention so that you can stride toward your own big potential.

And of course, have some fun along the way today for hurdle moment. I am chatting with Rebecca Sofer.

She's the co founder of modern loss a website offering candid content resources and community on loss and grief.

She's also the author of the upcoming book, The Modern Lost Handbook, an interactive guide to moving through grief and building your resilience.

I know the topic isn't the most sexy but talking about grief is really important.

I saw a statistic that I cited in today's episode that was 57% of Americans reported experiencing a major loss over the last three years.

And as Rebecca says in today's episode, that can be death, but it can also be the dissolving of relationships, whether they're botanic or something more intimate.

Rebecca gets really open and shares her personal story of losing both of her parents by her mid 30s and how she came to creating a space to help individuals process their own grief as she was navigating hers.

She also offers up her best practice tips for navigating grief ranging from journaling and specific thought prompts to movement and talk therapy and get into the ends and outs of all of that.

It's really, really, I mean, this is an important conversation, like I said.

And I feel as though, especially after the last couple of years in COVID, we have all gone through the thick of it in our own way on our own time.

And now it's so critical for us to have these open honest conversations about smart ways to move forward.

And as Rebecca says today, reclaim your joy because you are worthy of good things.

Make sure you're following along the turtle over on socials.

It's at little podcast. I am over at Emily Abadi.

I am also reporting this shortly before hopping up to Boston.

So much going on this week, ranging from the live show with Puma to my sit down with Des and inside tracker.

Also our furdler run this coming Friday. I'm going to link to all of the things that you need to know in the show notes.
