We often try to bypass our normal and natural feelings after any kind of ....because they're painful and it HURTS.💔

But when we don't allow ourselves to feel what we need to feel, we end up defaulting to a set of unconscious behaviours in an effort to ease the energy of discomfort or pain.

They may work in the short term, but over time there can be an impact on our health, our relationships, our career and our finances.

Food and alcohol are obvious and typical short-term energy relieving behaviours. Some others include;

*Social media scrolling
*Drugs
*Fantasy (Movies, Netflix, books)
*Gaming
*Exercise
*Shopping
*Workaholism

Most of these behaviours are not harmful in and of themselves. They can become harmful when we engage in them for the wrong reasons.

They create an illusion of recovery by causing us to forget or bury our .

However, the relief is only temporary because it's not dealing with the TRUE emotional issue.

Are you ready to commit to long-term relief?

The Grief Recovery Method®️ provides a space where you can express your emotional truth, in safety, and learn the effective tools that can help you honour and acknowledge what is emotionally unresolved for you.

I am here to guide you and help you along the way.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Today is a good day to tell someone how much you love them.❤️

It's also a great day to tell someone that you appreciate them, respect them, admire them, or just feel really grateful for them.

This doesn't have to mean only family. There are times when you feel a genuine connection with a friend, colleague, or neighbour.
The feeling rises from within and the words form in your mind...and then you suddenly feel embarrassed.
Or you're unsure how they will respond.
Or you're in a rush.

So you don't say anything.

With those close to us it's so easy to think, "they know how I feel about them."

Can you remember when someone shared with you how much you meant to them? How did it feel? Pretty great, I bet!

A genuine compliment, or heartfelt "I love you" has the ability to completely change someone's day. It may mean everything to the one who hears it.

On a day they really need to hear it.

As an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I often hear people say they wished they told a loved one how much they loved them before it was too late.

Or a friend how much they meant to them.

Or a colleague how they have positively impacted them.

Unresolved grief is almost always about things we wish we had said, or done differently, better, or more.

Today is a great day to say what's in your heart❤️

As many of you know, in March of this year I went back to my personal training roots and joined the incredible team at Movati Burlington.

It’s been quite a ride building my business here, reconnecting with the fitness world, and finding new ways to bring my skills, experience, and passion to this community.

Today, I’m excited to share that I’ve officially completed my Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist certification! 🎓✨

Over the years, I’ve gathered quite a toolbox to support women through the many transitions of midlife:

💪 Personal Training & fitness
🥑 Holistic Nutrition Coaching
🌿 Life Coaching
❤️‍🩹 Grief Recovery
✨ And now, Menopause Coaching

Each piece gives me another lens through which to understand and support women…not just physically, but holistically, through the changes, challenges, losses, and opportunities that come with midlife.

A huge thank you to Molly Galbraith (GGS) for creating such a comprehensive and empowering certification and for giving me another valuable tool to add to my health & wellness toolbox.

I’m especially excited to bring this knowledge to the women I work with and continue creating a space where midlife women feel strong, informed, supported, and empowered in their bodies.

This next chapter feels really good.💗

Midlife isn’t something we need to get through. It’s a chapter we get to fully inhabit.

Unfortunately grief remains an uncomfortable conversation for most people. This can be for many reasons;

* Most of us grew up with misinformation about grief like “time heals”.
So when time moves on, and the person we care about continues to feel the pain of a significant emotional loss, we may not understand or know how to be helpful.

*We don’t like to see someone we care about hurting, and when we can’t “fix” the situation (and the reality is we can’t) we wish they could just “get over it”.

*Sometimes our grief is a mirror for other people’s unresolved grief.
So the faster you move through YOUR grief, the faster they’ll be able to move through THEIR discomfort.

*Every relationship is unique, therefore our grief is unique. No one else’s opinion about our relationship with the people who’ve affected our lives is solicited or helpful.

Recovery from loss is possible.💜

I thought this was beautiful and wanted to share…

“Perhaps our “life's purpose” has nothing to do with what job we will find, what new thing we will manifest or attract for ourselves, or what mythical awakening journey we will complete.

Perhaps the purpose of our life is to fully live, finally, to touch each here and now moment with our presence and with the gift of our one, wild heart.

And to do whatever we can to help others, to hold them when they are hurting, to listen carefully to their stories and the ways they are attempting to make sense of a world that has gone a bit mad.

To speak kind words and not forget the erupting miracle of the other as it appears in front of us. Perhaps this is the most radical gift that we can all give."

Listening to Someone Who’s Grieving

It’s hard to know how to support someone who’s grieving a loss. The best thing you can do is be a good listener.

Often, grievers just want to be seen and heard during their emotionally difficult time, and being able to hold that space for them is an invaluable gift.

1. Be Present.
In our every day experience we can tell when someone isn’t focused on our conversation. How does that make you feel?
Now imagine a friend is going through an unimaginable loss and we are distracted.
They may not want to share because they can tell we aren’t fully present, and this can increase their feelings of loneliness or isolation

2. Be Patient.
Most of us find it difficult to share our feelings at the best of times. Grief takes time to process and everyone experiences it at their own pace.
Contrary to what most people think, grief is not a series of stages, and there is no timetable

3. Take Your Cue From Them:
Some take comfort in remembering their loved one and want to talk about them. Others may not be ready to talk about their loss. They may need more time to process and reach out to you when they’re ready. If you’re not sure, ask.

4. Don’t Compare Losses:
“I Know How You Feel” is one of the most annoying/infuriating phrases grievers hear. The truth is we DON’T know how someone else feels, even if we’ve experienced a similar loss

Acknowledging that we don’t know how a person feels and offering to listen and do our best to understand can help them feel more supported in their grief.

At some point in our lives, every one of us will have an experience that rocks us to our core...that pushes us past our to cope.

It can either be a situation we've been living with for a long time, or a sudden event that completely overwhelms us.
These experiences have the power to bring us to our knees and fundamentally change us.

Our mind tries to keep us safe...it rejects, ignores, pushes against, and maneuvers around the emotions we don't want to feel.

We suffer because we "fight" the reality of what is.
We resist the natural we have to that change/loss we are experiencing.

Until the time comes when we can't resist or fight anymore.

Either because it's too painful, or because we know in our hearts that it's futile.

And we surrender.

Surrender happens when we know we can't think or see our way through where we are.
All we know is that we CAN'T keep doing it the way we've been doing it, a minute longer.

Surrender often comes with a great sense of relief, ease, and peace.
It doesn't mean the situation is any easier or better, but we know we can't "fix" it .

And weirdly, that's when something deep within us relaxes, acknowledging we don't know the way.

This is what I call the 'softening'.
It's the end of conflict with yourself and the space that can begin.

When you're ready to heal, I'm here to listen.

I can easily remember times in my life when people close to me tried to give me information, advice, or offer something I just wasn’t ready to hear or accept.

Sometimes it was timing.
Usually it was resistance.

It must have been so frustrating and stressful for them to watch me move through what I needed to.

To learn from the choices I made, and the actions (or lack of action) I took, even when it was to my detriment.

It’s important to recognize that we all come into our healing in our own time.

That there may be purpose in the pain we experience through our resistance.

So when we are the helpers, it’s important to remember that healthy boundaries are necessary for healthy relationships.

I know…they can be challenging to practice!

But necessary for our own health and wellbeing.

Having been the recipient of SO much kindness in my life , I thought this would be a good reminder.

The smallest, most simple gesture can brighten someone’s day and is the 🔑 to connection.
Try one (or more) of these:

1. Really listen - and avoid checking your phone when someone is sitting across from you

2. Share a book that had a positive impact on you

3. Express sincere gratitude

4. Give someone the benefit of the doubt

5. Smile at a stranger

6. Compliment a loved one

7. Thank someone who’s making a difference

Kindness really does matter!💕

Have a wonderful day today & and enjoy the upcoming week!
