My Grief Journey Pt.2, with Tamsin & Lily Millard

Hey! Welcome back to another episode of Not So Linear, where I talk about my grief journey and the last 6 months of change since launching the podcast. This time I'm interviewed by my younger sister Lily, which is very special as it shows how much we've grown through our grief together.
I talk honestly about how my relationship with my grief and my mum have evolved, as I have tried to make peace with my emotions and find ways to connect with her again. I also talk about the importance of finding a strong community of others who can help you feel less alone and I am so glad I found that in Motherless Daughters and within my own instagram page @tamsinmillard
We also talk about the impact that alcohol has on anxiety and how we live in a society that pressures us to tick off life events in order to be 'happy' - which is just unnecessary!
I hope you feel less alone in your journey by listening to mine. Don't forget to follow across apple and spotify to keep up to date with all of my latest episodes!

Darkness is Golden, with Mary Hoang

Mary Hoang is a psychologist who thinks creatively about what makes humans lead more meaningful lives. She is founder of the mental health organisation 'The Indigo Project' and is tearing down the walls of traditional psychology.

After her fathers death in 2017, Mary turned to art and writing to explore how the darker aspects of life hold the keys to insight and purpose. Losing him was her life changing moment, which she so beautifully documents in her book ‘Darkness is Golden’ and explores alongside us how we can deal with life’s messiness.

We talk about:

Mary's background and why she set up a progressive therapy practice
Why we have to give uncomfortable feelings space, rather than supressing them
Losing her Father and how it shifted her lens on life
Grief & funerals in Asian culture
Death mediation
The concept of the 'Inner child' and how we must learn to meet our needs
How all types of grief are valid, such as loss of career, relationship or health etc
The monsters in our haunted house
Mary's experience of breaking down whilst writing the book
Managing anxiety

If you are interested in reading more about her work, you can find her organisation here: www.theindigoproject.com.au and her instagram @maryhoangindigo

You can order her book 'Darkness is Golden via Amazon or Booktopia.
