Will your grief spark personal growth, and make you better? Or will it make you bitter? Join Amanda and her sister in grief, Tara Accardo, Grief, Soul Purpose, and Transformational Life Coach and host of the Life With Grief podcast for an honest conversation about the magic that grief holds to deliver us to our highest purpose and greatest selves. Listen to Tara’s personal story of losing both of her parents within 6 months, followed by a traumatic birthing experience, and how she was divinely led to turn her losses in gains. More candid discussion centers around: 🔥How to incorporate grief into everyday life in a way that gives you meaning and purpose 🔥The ways in which both Amanda and Tara have gained from their loss—how they have changed for the better 🔥Redefining your relationship with loss to serve you instead of hurt you 🔥The interesting duality of losing both parents: the freedom of no one being “over” you but also intense isolation because the people you turned to for support and guidance are no longer there 🔥The common thread of loss of identity/identity crisis that Tara sees across the board in both grief and life coaching 🔥Time does not heal wounds—it’s what you do with that time that matters 🔥Micro moments of healing: small actions taken every day to help you move into a peaceful place Tara Accardo is a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and host of the Life With Grief Podcast. After suffering multiple traumatic losses, her journey of grieving led her to create Losses Become Gains—a community for fellow grievers that serves tools, resources, inspiration, and guidance on how to navigate grief, loss, and moving forward in life with both in tow. Through her podcast, one-on-one coaching and other modalities of support, Tara’s passion, calling, and commitment to uplifting and empowering fellow grievers runs deep.

S4E3 The Power of Choice with Sundari Malcolm
Have you considered the amount of power you hold to choose your path during life's major transitions like giving birth, grieving, or dying? And do you exercise your right to tailor your experience to what feels right for you? Or do you go along with the prescribed conditioning without questioning what's available to you during these life-altering choice points? Join Amanda and her guest Sundari Malcolm, Birth, Grief, and Death Doula, for a straightforward, candid conversation about the incredible power you have to choose what feels right for your soul while on your journey to living a full, authentic life free of other people's opinions and society's judgments and expectations. They also discuss: 🔥"New age" is actually ancient and "woo woo" is how your ancestors lived for thousands of years 🔥The alchemy of grief: transmuting pain into power due to increased awareness of your limited bandwidth to stand for what no longer serves you and how to reach this place of peace 🔥Ancient practices hold the key to aligning with our highest self and an explanation of some of these modalities such as plant medicine, ritual, sound and song, movement and dance, among others 🔥Your cells hold the memory of ancient wisdom and are beckoning to be witnessed and activated as the path to healing body, mind, and spirit 🔥Your power to listen to your body's inner wisdom for which conditioned programs to listen to and which ones to ignore 🔥The empirical collapse that is happening all over the world (felt as collective grief) is not a collapse but a return to the simple solutions that have always worked and how this disintegration requires a deep surrender 🔥Sundari's fascinating story of being raised between in an ashram in Yogaville, VA and NYC how she translates her yoga practice as a connection point to grief About Sundari Sundari Malcolm is a Birth, Grief and Death Doula specializing in yoga, breathwork and meditation. She’s a teacher on a mission to equip people with the tools they need to manage life’s greatest transitions. In 2007, at 27 years old, and after seven years of being her caregiver, Sundari lost her mother to breast cancer. Four years later, her father died from the complications of brain cancer. Those experiences redirected her life and led her to the beautiful path she travels today. A contributor to Help Texts and a grief expert with the For Grief Speakers Bureau, she is the author of the book Grief Gems and the founder of A Healing Doula Academy, a virtual self-paced training academy for the spiritually led grief & death doula with a focus on ancient indigenous holistic wellness.

Sibling loss. Not much has been written about it, no one really talks about it, or asks about your grief.

S3E12 Giving Grief a Voice with Creative Expression with Susie Stonefield
For many of us, grief can be hard to access. The depth of our pain creates resistance to honoring what yearns to come forward. How do we enter these spaces feeling safe to give voice to grief in a way that effectively soothes the wound left in the wake of loss? Join Amanda and her guest Susie Stonefield, transformational creativity and grief coach, for a compelling conversation about using art to excavate feelings hidden deep within, with the intention of putting language to emotions you may not know are living inside of you. The second half of the show focuses largely on what this work looks like in groups. Susie teaches us how to be a responsible and impactful facilitator as well as participant in this sacred space. Key points to listen for include: The desire to avoid feeling pain and how art is a powerful tool to dig into the dark places, transform your experience with grief, and ultimately transform your life. The power in witnessing others in their grief without the need to fix or change them; the art of holding space in silence especially if it feels discomforting. How to allow someone the full expression of their pain without trying to make them feel better. Art as an instrument for self-awareness, and for birthing new light into ourselves and the world. The importance of acknowledging, honoring, and allowing whatever you are feeling to come up and out with judgment. The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi as a metaphor for the beauty of grief. About Susie Susie (she/her) is a transformational creativity and grief coach. Her passion is making people cry with art supplies.

S3E8 Showing Up in Meaningful Ways In Times of Grief with Jessica Fein
Do you find yourself not enjoying the precious moments of life because you are anticipating loss? Do you struggle with what to say to someone when they are mourning the loss of a loved one or going through a a tough time? Join Amanda and her guest, Jessica Fein, author of Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes, host of the I Don't Know How You Do It podcast, and grieving mother and sibling, as they explore grief literacy and how to show up in meaningful ways for yourself, your family, and others in the midst of the chaos and uncertainty that accompanies grief (anticipatory or current). This episode is packed with tips for helping not only the parents of a grieving child but also the siblings. In addition to Jessica's powerful and important story, other insightful and interesting conversation centers around: Creating "micro doses of hope," joy, and "corners of beauty" in moments when it's extremely hard to do so. Having a realistic perspective of hope and what is actually possible and achievable, so you don't feel constantly defeated and in despair. How to show up vulnerably in challenging, fragile, and painful situations. The importance of parents showing their emotions to their children in order to normalize difficult feelings. How to help children navigate their own big feelings during a time of crisis and grief. The "and/both" concept: living in both grief and joy simultaneously is possible. It's less about what you say and more about the actions you take when helping someone through their grieving process.

S3E6 Permisson to Grieve with Rachel Garcia

S3E6 Permisson to Grieve with Rachel Garcia
Do you feel like your grief needs to be validated in order to mourn? Do you judge your loss as worthy before you allow yourself to feel it? Have you considered other manifestations of grief aside from death (aka ambiguous loss), one of the most common being divorce? Join Amanda and her very affable, fun guest, Rachel Garcia as they discuss the importance of giving yourself permission to grieve, focusing on the grief of divorce and how it can be a catalyst for deep healing, one which prompted Rachel to start her podcast, The Grief Informed Podcast. The ladies talk about what grief looks like after divorce but that's not all. They also dive into: Acknowledging, accepting, and embracing the fact that you are affected by certain losses, big and small What it means to be "grief informed" How to attune to your needs when you feel triggered by past trauma and loss Coming back into "contact" with your higher self and heart when you feel yourself dissociating from your grief How to create a nonjudgmental and compassionate space within in order to feel safe enough to grieve You cannot receive the support you need if you aren't willing to be vulnerable, and much more. About Rachel A single working mom with four teenagers in Birmingham, AL, Rachel worked as a Doula and Childbirth Educator for 10 years and dabbled in life coaching. She found her niche for this season of life through having long form conversations about the ways we are each affected by grief and the ways in which we can better show up for ourselves and for others in that sacred practice. Rachel lost both of her parents at a young age, faced early childhood trauma, and understood grief through bereavement. But it was divorce that taught her another level of grief she wasn't quite prepared for! It was this grief that inspired her to start and host her podcast, The Grief Informed Podcast.
