10/01/22 • 47 min

1 Listener

Let's dig into Life after Loss with Tim Bigonia, host of the Journey to Grateful, Navigating Through the Loss of Life and Love podcast that was created after Tim suffered his own personal loss and realized he had "messages" to share with others going through their own loss or dealing with grief.
On this episode we will talk about several grief/loss related topics:

Grieving isn't something that only comes with a death, it can be a job, relationship...This one is huge
Grieving is not linear, it's a tangled ball of string
Thoughts on visiting one of your together happy places
Sharing memories can be comforting
Dare to grieve
Don't get caught up in other's beliefs
It's ok to ask for help and the type that works best for you

Healing Your Relationship with Food and Exercise

Erin Tusa is an integrated holistic health and strength coach based in Guelph Ontario, Canada. After her own 100 pound all or nothing weight loss "rollercoaster", Erin developed a holistic model of both coaching and training that helps people heal their relationship with food and exercise without needing more discipline and willpower. Erin empowers clients to understand that their eating and exercise issues actually have very little to do with the food, and MORE to do with how physically and emotionally SAFE they feel inside and out.
Erin’s personal story with chronic back pain, orthorexia and self-sabotage have given her a unique empathy and compassion for helping her clients. Erin hopes to help clients understand that their bad habits are actually protective and she works to help clients bridge the gap from "knowing what to do" - to actually following through and doing it - using the evidence principles of her Soul Hunger Method program; a "truce" with food and fitness.

What Can We Learn About Living, From The Dying With Dr. Kathy Zhang

What can the living, learn from the dying?
What are five phrases we can use with someone who is dying, someone we love, or on ourselves?
How can we close the gap between our expectations of how things should be vs how things really are?

If you would like to dig into these questions, join me as I talk with Dr. Luyi Kathy Zhang.
Dr. Zhang is a hospice & palliative care physician, mindset & life coach, an author and the host of The Purpose Filter podcast which helps living people apply dying lessons before it’s too late.

Kathy’s transformational coaching style is a direct reflection of who she is: half compassionate, nurturing and soothing healer who cares for the dying and half no-nonsense, straight-talking Brooklyn native who tells it like it is—all with love and growth in mind.

Her mission is to empower overwhelmed and directionless high-achieving professionals to break past limitations, live authentically and become the version of themselves they most want to be, while doing it with fun and ease.
