If you find yourself entrenched in anxiety, worry, and fear, whether it be from the state of the world or from a particular challenge in your life, this guided practice is for you. Jenn invites listeners to settle in with an object or two to invite compassion and forgiveness into every fiber of your being. You will be able to imagine and release a moment of regret or struggle and feel yourself fill with love. It is a practice you can return to time and time again when you need that reminder that you are deserving of compassion.

In today's society, it can be easy to find ourselves overwhelmed by unease and fear and simply grieving what used to be. In this episode with healers and storytellers Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy, they share about learning to manage our sense of discomfort around others with differentiating views and how we can use the power of positive belonging and community for healing and understanding.  Lewis and Barbara co-direct the Coyote Institute, where they are committed to bridging Indigenous wisdom, storytelling, psychology, and modern medicine. They share about their exciting 5th Annual Two-Eyed Seeing Conference coming up in January and tell stories of spiritual healing across many disciplines. The episode ends with a powerful metta meditation to offer yourself acceptance and kindness so that you can go on to wish those same affirmations on the ones we love, as well as those who make us uncomfortable. Lewis and Barbara were the very first guests on the Walk Through Grief with Grace podcast, and as these four years of the show come to an end, it is an honor to welcome them back on for a message of love, deep listening, and collaboration in a divisive world.   Learn more about Lewis and Barbara's work at the Coyote Insititute and their upcoming events at https://www.coyote-institute.org/ - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com Podcast production by Caitlin Epstein

Are you your own worst critic? Are you especially tough on yourself as you face grief, health issues, relationship struggles, parenthood, or other challenges? If so, this episode is for you. Jenn is joined by Breast Cancer Recovery Strategist and Mentor Dee Manuel Cloud to talk about the work Dee did to transform her life after her second breast cancer diagnosis. It was a wake up call that led her to leave an unhappy marriage, embrace her queer identity, improve her health, reduce stress, and help other breast cancer survivors protect their peace through her Gracefully Protecting Self (GPS) Initiative.   In just this one podcast episode, Dee provides 3 key ingredients for transformation and so much encouragement to treat ourselves with kindness, compassion, and grace. She reminds us that things will not change in the same environment that broke us and gives the encouragement we need to peel back the layers we have covered ourselves in to shield the true, vulnerable parts of yourself at the center. No matter what challenges you are faced with right now, this interview will leave you ready to face them head on.   Learn more about Dee and her work at https://www.deemanuelcloud.com/ and follow her on all social media platforms @iamdeemanuelcloud - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/   - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com

Rest. Create Space. Remember. Three simple steps for any stage of grief or life transitions to help you decompress, sit with powerful emotions, and excavate gems of truth and wisdom that may transform into something beautiful. Befriending grief and realizing the power of authenticity and vulnerability have helped Educator and host of the Shift Sisters podcast, Sandra Sa, share the story of her grief after her sister's death through poems, paintings, podcast episodes, and more. The soft, dedicated containers for grief and healing that she has been a part of for the past few years have allowed her to tend to her grief as an extension of herself and honor the struggles of not just grief, but all of lifes transitions - taking on new titles, becoming a parent, getting married or divorced, starting a new job, and so much more. By slowing down and sitting with the feelings around these shifts, we can allow ourselves to heal, share, and empower others as Sandra has done so well.   Listen to the Shift Sisters Podcast at https://shiftsisterspodcast.com/ - Listen to Sandra's poem about her sister in Episode 68: Creativity: How We Rise from the Ashes of Loss Community Roundtable - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com Podcast production by Caitlin Epstein

Sometimes our soulmates are our friends. The people that we hand select to go through life with. In this episode, we honor that bond and the deep grief that comes with losing a friend. Jenn is joined by Certified Grief Educator and Author Hannah Rumsey, whose work honors her friend Lauren, who passed in 2015. Hannah and Lauren had a supernova of a friendship that formed at summer camp and continued despite long distances. Since Lauren's death, Hannah has created a one-woman show titled "42 Days of Summer," the podcast Friends Missing Friends, and her upcoming memoir. Hannah truly honors the disenfranchised grief of friend loss and shares how we can alchemize our grief into works of art. The grieving process and the creative process can both be incredibly daunting, but Hannah shares how we can break them down into smaller, more manageable parts and come out the other side a bit more healed.   Connect with Hannah and listen to her podcast at friendsmissingfriends.com, @friendsmissingfriends on Instagram, or through email at [email protected] - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us Use the promo code PODCAST for one free month of membership - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Have virtual tea with Jenn!

"Love Never Fails", even when the target of that love has died. This is the motto and mission that has motivated and bolstered Sarah Mayfield since the sudden and unexpected death of her 1.5 year old son, Elliot, seven years ago.

Listen for clear, powerful tips for speaking with young people about death, rituals you can incorporate in your life to honor loved ones who have died, and how to simply be there for people who have experienced a traumatic loss.   Learn more about Sarah's work and purchase her book One Sure Thing at https://www.livethatlove.com/ - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us Use the promo code PODCAST for one free month of membership - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Have virtual tea with Jenn!

In the Spring of 2021, my producer, Caitlin, and I began planning the launch of this podcast. At the same time, her aunt was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. For the past four years, we have produced dozens of episodes as Caitlin's aunt Diane fought to make it to an important milestone: her younger son's high school graduation. On May 23rd, 2025, Diane passed away 12 hours after graduation, and for the first time ever, Caitlin agreed to step out from behind the curtain and sit behind the mic herself to share her family's story. It is a story of sacrifice, relentlessness, and deep love - all things that Diane demonstrated with so much fight and stubbornness in her final years. Caitlin shares how we can show up for each other during tough times, the ways her aunt inspires her work and future goals, and the importance of family - the family we're related to and the family we choose. Caitlin and Jenn also announce the end of the podcast this November and how they plan to honor and memorialize a show that has opened up so many important conversations around grief.    Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us Use the promo code PODCAST for one free month of membership - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Have virtual tea with Jenn!

"Laughter is the best medicine" may seem like just a common cliche, but humor and levity can be powerful tools when it comes to caring for aging family members. In this episode, Jenn is joined by Howard Miller, the author of Burdens and Blessings, to discuss the lessons he learned while caring for his parents who lived into their nineties. Howard shares so many lovely examples of humor found through grief and challenging times, discusses navigating sibling relationships while caregiving, and key tips for determining what we and our loved ones want for their care as they grow old or face health issues. One of the key messages of this episodes is bringing empathy to caregiving as we realize the vast loss our parents are experiencing - the loss of people, physical and mental capabilities, and more. By putting ourselves in their shoes and giving them as much agency as possible, we can help our parents and ourselves find more joy and comfort in their later years.
