Welcome, listeners, to another episode, as we continue once more our journey to explore the depths of grief, love, and the human spirit. Today, we'll discuss their journey into the award-winning documentary “Meet Me Where I Am” with our guests.

The film explores the many nuances and complexities of grief that individuals grapple with. It may be a little word, but it's mighty powerful when it arrives. The film brings together these nuances and, I believe, normalizes grief.

To say I'm beyond thrilled is an understatement to have Grant Garry and John Farley with me today!

Here's what we talk about:

• What inspired the creation of the documentary 'Meet Me Where I Am' and its focus on grief?
• The symbolism of the train metaphor.
• In what ways does the documentary address the impact of cultural beliefs on the grieving process?
• The importance of sharing stories and memories of loved ones to honor their lives and find solace in grief.
• And much more!

Welcome everyone to another episode in our grief series. As you know, I not only share stories from our guests who have overcome major challenges in their lives, but I also like to introduce you to different modalities that I believe could be helpful in supporting as we go through many of these.

So today, I'm delighted to be delving into one such modality: hypnotherapy and how it can help with anxiety, depression, and much more. Our guest is Mike Oglesbee, an acclaimed author and coach who has taught everyone, from kids to adults in their 90s, to overcome mental struggles and become their best selves.

Mike's first book is Fight Back: End the Cycles of Anxiety and Depression. His second book, Bigger Than Fear, will be released later this year. You may have seen Mike before if you went to the YouTube channel, which we've just started. You may have seen him on TV or heard him on radio shows. He's now breaking into guesting on podcasts, which is why he's with us.

Here's what we talk about:

• Mike's understanding of the mind and behavior influence his career choice in hypnotherapy.
• Align thoughts, emotions, and actions with desired outcomes by making different choices.
• The power of the subconscious mind.
• How can individuals overcome their fear of change?
• And much more!

Welcome back, listeners, and hi to our new ones who found us on YouTube. This is a new adventure for the Let's Talk About Grief podcast. Please like or comment, especially if there's a topic that we haven't covered and you would be interested in exploring.

Today, we're going to be talking about navigating grief when you're a highly competent woman in a leadership role. And even if you're not, or you don't recognize or let yourself feel that you're a highly competent woman, rest assured that you all are. Our guest will have wisdom nuggets that will apply to everyone. So please stay with us!

I am thrilled to chat again with Debra Woog, a crisis navigation partner with 30+ years of experience as a leadership researcher, executive, and advisor. Her research was carried out primarily at Harvard Business School, and she's also the researcher of an award-winning book. Her work has been featured in Forbes and other large publications. Needless to say, Debra's accomplishments are outstanding!

Here's what we talk about:

• Debra's experiences navigating personal crises while maintaining a successful career.
• The importance of resilience, communication, capacity, and community support during challenging times.
• How does Debra help her clients communicate effectively and make decisions during crises?
• Strategies that can be employed to motivate clients to engage in self-care and seek respite during challenging times.
• And much more!

About Debra:

I’m Debra Woog (pronounced like “Vogue”). I work from my home office in Arlington, MA, as my two terrific teenagers attend school. By nature, I am a connector and a community builder. Connection and community are essential in a crisis. As a leader who has navigated my own unanticipated challenges, I know first-hand the value of smart, collaborative expertise, especially for women who feel solo in life or work. As supremely capable as we are, we are even better when we cross difficult roads together.

With a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, I am able to provide both emotional and practical underpinnings for problem-solving, including research, resource matching, and communication strategy. I’m here for you.

Hello listeners, thank you for joining us. We'll discuss end-of-life conversations and their importance. I hope you agree that you need to be aware of this!

However, I am certain others will think, "Oh, I don't need to listen to this. I don't need this yet." Please, before you go, I would love you to stick around just a little bit longer to hear what my guest, Jonathan Fleece, has to say about his company, Empath Health, one of the country's largest not-for-profit health systems, delivering non-acute care services in the US.

There is also a link to a newly released film called Suncoast. Jonathan is the Empath president and, as I've mentioned, a CEO. I'm looking forward to discussing how this organization and the unique connection came about.

As this levels, many areas that somebody going through grief, anticipatory grief is likely to experience, and just why having an end-of-life conversation with our loved ones is so very important.

Here's what we talk about:

• Jonathan's personal experience of losing a loved one led him to dedicate his life's work to end-of-life care.
• End-of-life conversations and their importance
• Addressing the multidimensional nature of grief to support individuals and families in their journey.
• The film 'Suncoast' and its impact
• And much more!

Welcome everyone to our heartfelt space, where we weave hope, wisdom, compassion, and an understanding into the fabric of our conversation about one of life's most profound challenges - grief and loss. We recognize that few experiences come as deeply as the pain of losing a loved one, especially when the loss comes at the hand of a silent battle with inner demons.

Today, we're going to be stepping into that realm often shrouded in silence and taboo, the heart-wrenching topic of suicide.

We're engaging in a candid conversation with Dr. Keith McNally, whose multifaceted life story includes surviving suicide, as well, if that wasn't enough, a heart attack. Among his many pursuits, now, he is aiming to support suicide survivors, as well as their families.

Our guest has a diverse professional background as a social worker, a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, and a survivor's testimony. He also brings a wealth of insight into the labyrinth of human suffering and resilience. And I'd love you to warmly welcome Dr. Keith McNally to our show today!

Here's what we talk about:

• The internal conflicts and struggles faced by individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts.
• What strategies does Dr. McNally employ to cope with suicidal thoughts?
• Emotional or psychological states might indicate that someone is at risk of suicidal ideation.
• What are some common misconceptions or myths surrounding suicide?
• And much more!

• Personal grief rituals and their purpose.
• In what ways do rituals offer comfort and solace to a person experiencing grief?
• The rapid societal changes have caused ancient customs and rituals to fade away.
