Navigating the landscape of loss, grief, and self-acceptance can be a rocky journey...That's why I invited my friend Kris Carr, a multiple New York Times bestselling author,  wellness activist, and Oprah-praised thought leader who has just released her latest book, I'm Not a Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions That Happen When Life Falls Apart. In this conversation: Kris takes us on an intimate exploration of her own experiences with these difficult emotions. We delve into the raw reality of losing a loved one as Kris shares her personal story of losing her father. We discuss the challenge of talking about death and how we can approach it with more compassion and understanding.We shift gears into the realm of personal acceptance. How does our need for control and constant busyness affect our ability to accept life as it is? Kris and I share our own experiences, shedding light on our struggles with letting go of the relentless need to be constantly productive. We also discuss the courage it takes to give ourselves the space we need and the role of self-care in this process.We explore the power of authenticity and the importance of prioritizing joy in our lives. The conversation also takes an intimate turn as Kris opens up about her own struggles with anxiety and the pressure to polish her image for the sake of success.Finally, we discuss the complexities of emotions, particularly for women, and the importance of making room for what truly brings us joy. This heartfelt conversation reminds us of the importance of staying true to ourselves, even in the face of loss and grief. Join us as we journey through these universal human experiences, gaining insights and learning to be more compassionate with ourselves along the way.And, as a special bonus, I want to give you FREE access to my signature course, Slay Your Year (usually $997)!
