| 063. Grieving and Growing: Reflecting on 4 Years Since My Dad’s Death | 11 Jul 2024 | 01:01:48 | |
The angel day of my dad, Greg Jordan, is coming up on July 13th, so I’m reflecting on the last four years since his death.I wanted to have an open, vulnerable conversation and share some thoughts and feelings that I'm having around approaching this (unfortunate) milestone. I did this last year with my mom on her for your angel day as well, and I think it's so important to take a moment to process and reflect on days like these.So, I’m sharing what I'm feeling and thinking with this day approaching, but also some things I'm reflecting on and things I've learned in the last several years.My goal is for really anyone here listening to glean something from this episode, and take something away from this conversation that you can apply to your grieving and healing journey.Work with me:- 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief- Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership- Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains- Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/- Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 062. How to Cope with a Loss of Identity as we Grieve | 04 Jul 2024 | 00:36:52 | |
“Wife”“Mother”“Father”“Sibling”“Friend”“Cousin”“Boyfriend”“Girlfriend”“Partner”“Dog mom” or “dog dad” … the list goes on. How do you identify? What identity do you feel has changed since you’ve suffered your loss? Has it evolved? Do you still identify as whatever your “title” is? Perhaps not sure yet and trying to figure it out? Maybe figuring out what this new shift in your reality actually means for you now? So relatable, my friend. When we suffer a loss, we’re left to wonder… where does this leave us? What now? For many, sadly, they find themselves asking if they deserve these titles still. In this episode this week, we're digging into that! We'll talk about how to understand the complexities of coping with feeling a loss of identity after you’ve been through a loss, and how this affects the grieving process.

| 061. Navigating & Healing Grief Through Ayurveda with Dr. Sweta Vikram | 27 Jun 2024 | 01:08:10 | |
Dr. Sweta Vikram, PhD is a dedicated Doctor of Ayurveda, a globally renowned speaker, and an acclaimed author of 14 best-selling books.The goal of her work is to alleviate stress and elevate the overall quality of her clients' lives through Ayurveda-based health and wellness coaching. She specializes in addressing disordered sleep, anxiety, digestion, appetite, and mood.I was so excited to talk to her more about Ayurveda, specifically, because this practice was a key focus as I was earning my Soul Purpose and Transformational Life Coaching certification.Ayurveda has truly been transformative not only in coping with my grief and improving my overall health and wellbeing, but really in my own journey of finding my soul’s purpose and understanding how to move forward after loss. It led me to some major changes in my life, and I have no doubt it can open that door for you, too.But even more than the Ayurveda piece of this puzzle, we get into so many beautiful topics around loss and navigating life with grief that will leave you uplifted and inspired.

| 056. How to Overcome Shock After a Loss | 23 May 2024 | 00:40:43 | |
If you’ve experienced a loss, you’ve likely experienced some form of shock along the way. Even if you see the loss coming, little can prepare you for when you actually lose a loved one. Or, even endure an unforeseen breakup, lose a job, or something else entirely. All of these and more deserve to be recognized and can be equally shocking!But fear not, my friend… there are ways to work through this shock and find some semblance of peace again. Today, we’ll acknowledge the trauma that shock from a loss can leave on our hearts, and talk about ways to cope with it.Join the waitlist for my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://losses-become-gains.myflodesk.com/i75sdwbftnEpisode 38, Creating a Routine and Why It’s Important in Grief: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/038-creating-a-routine-and-why-its-important-in-grief/id1688812587?i=1000641332343Freebies: https://lossesbecomegains.com/free-toolsWork with me: Explore my Life With Grief membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 054. 7 Reasons Why Alone Time is Important for Healing | 09 May 2024 | 00:37:47 | |
Today I wanted to have a quick conversation about why alone time is important in our grieving journey, and in our healing journey. We're going to talk about seven reasons I feel this way, both as a Grief and Transformational Life Coach and a fellow griever.I know we can sometimes want to be surrounded by people as we're grieving, and I always encourage that! Having a solid support system is critical.But the thing is, the practice of embracing alone time can lead to self-reflection, introspection, and thinking about where our life was, where it is, and where we see it going. We can't always do that if we're inundated with other people, right?All I want you to do today—no matter where you fall on this spectrum of wanting people around you—is to hear me out on this topic. I think there is so much peace to be found when we have that time alone, and here we’ll talk about why!Work with me: Explore my Life With Grief membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 053. Navigating the Lifelong Journey of Grief with Michele DeVille | 02 May 2024 | 01:00:56 | |
I am incredibly honored to share today's guest with you guys. I’ve been a fan of hers for a LONG time now, y’all! I connected with her through Instagram, back when I first started following her early in the days of Losses Become Gains. I absolutely fell in love with her content and her beautiful writing, and now I have the privilege of sharing her with YOU today!I have no doubt you are going to love her as well. Today, we are chatting with Michelle DeVille. She is a grief specialist, educator, coach, end of life doula (we get into what this is in this episode!), speaker, and writer.Here, she shares her profound story with us—and let me tell you, she has suffered a lot of loss of different kinds.But really, her message is so beautiful. Like most of us, she knows how paralyzing grief and loss can be. It's because of her own painful life experiences that she is dedicated to helping others, just like you, who are struggling and facing some of their most difficult season ever.She and I share the belief that we can't escape loss and grief, but we CAN choose how we live and love every single day. It all comes down to how we navigate it, how we cope, and how we can shift our perspective. This is such an empowering conversation.

And SO many more!So, I wanted to cover this topic because there are so many complexities to it. And the thing is, comments like this can really hurt, right?!

| 050. Our Traumatic Birth Story & A Lesson In Listening to Your Intuition | 11 Apr 2024 | 01:08:33 | |
I can’t believe we’ve reached 50 EPISODES of the Life With Grief Podcast, my friends! To commemorate this in a big way, I’m sharing a personal story that is close to my heart—the (very traumatic) birth story of our daughter, Audrey, in January 2024. I have to be honest, I was really going back and forth on sharing this. There was definitely a time in the last two or three months where I didn’t want to relive this experience and wasn’t sure if I would ever feel comfortable talking about it. But, I think it's an important story to share. Not only because I want to be very open and vulnerable with you and my grief journey, but this birth was such an important lesson in intuition for me. I've always felt like I was a fairly intuitive person, but honestly, since the deaths of my parents and as I've continued to grow and become more introspective, I felt like this was such a beautiful example of that. I couldn’t not share it. Had I not listened to my intuition, the outcome of our daughter's life would have been very different (in other words, she would not have survived). So, I’m honored and humbled to share this experience with you today… Leave me a voice note and be featured on the podcast! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGriefWork with me: Explore my membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journalBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 048. Navigating Grief & Loss in the Workplace | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:45:46 | |
Grieving and coping with a loss while still having to work do NOT mix, amirite? This can be so, so difficult, so we’re getting into it and talking about it today.Having to continue showing up at our job as we’re going through a loss is by far one of the most physically and emotionally taxing things that someone grieving has to go through.We might not have the option to stop working as we need to support ourselves or our family, but trying to do our work effectively and be a (somewhat) fully functioning human being can be one of the most uncomfortable, distracting, and overwhelming things we must endure.

| 047. Navigating Job Loss, Self-Worth & Finding Your Purpose | 21 Mar 2024 | 00:37:43 | |
I wanted to hold a special space on the podcast for a loss that’s very important to recognize: the loss of a job. Losing a job is HARD! And let’s be real, whether it’s one you genuinely enjoy or one you’re sort of “meh” about, the shock, discomfort, anxiety, and worry this can cause is undeniable. The most stress-inducing aspect of losing a job for many of us is probably the need for a stable income to support yourself or your family. But there’s so much more to this type of loss, too. We might attach a lot of our identity to our job, treasure our colleagues, deeply enjoy the work we do, love the company… the list goes on. The approach I wanted to take with this episode is not only to validate and acknowledge how difficult this is, but to talk about ways to cope with this loss the best we can. That said, I wanted to take it a step further and touch on how this grief can affect our psyche and self-worth. And to build on that, we’ll finish it out with how we can reframe our mindset if this does happen to us, and how we can move forward from there with a renewed sense of hope and purpose.

Let’s bust some common grief myths today, my friend!We’re chatting with Shay Wingate. She’s a Licensed Therapist and Grief Coach, and a fellow griever just like me (and probably you!). She has actually graced the podcast in the past, and I’m super excited to have her back for this little series that we're doing on grief myths we constantly hear about as Grief Educators, and grievers ourselves.We wanted to make these episodes as bite-sized for you as possible, so this little series is going to be split into three parts. Today is part one of three—stay tuned for more coming soon!Shea created this awesome Grief Myths Mini Series (details are linked below!), but with that in mind, we thought this would be an awesome opportunity to come together and dispel some of these.We’re having like a fun, light-hearted, high level conversation and covering these myths today:
These myths are things that can really get us stuck in our grief, so I think it's really worth talking about!

| 045. Feeling Like We’re Moving Backwards in Our Grief (and How to Cope!) | 07 Mar 2024 | 00:34:42 | |
Do you ever feel like you're moving backward in your grief? Worry not, my friend. You're not, and we're going to chat about why in this episode!I’ve had countless people come to me with feeling like they’re moving backward in their grief journey, and this is a legitimate concern! Why? 1) It’s stressful! We worry that there’s something wrong with us or we're "grieving wrong". 2) There's concern this is going to be a permanent state and that we won't "get through it". 3) We might worry this negativity will always haunt us, and this moving backward feeling will always be on our toes.But what if I told you there’s just no such thing? We'll talk about this, why this happens, and ways to cope. Because grieving is a unique and non-linear process, and as something that comes and goes in intensity, experiencing setbacks is a normal part of the journey. So, let's dig into this together!

| 044. Understanding and Coping with Emotions as we Grieve | 29 Feb 2024 | 00:35:58 | |
There are a lot of misconceptions about how we feel and process our emotions, but this is a massive key to coping with our grief and unlocking this full, intentional life we want to live that I’m always going on about!I wanted this quick conversation to be about why we grieve the way we do. Why it’s so emotional, why we can feel stuck, why it can feel irrational. We’re not just validating your feelings here, we’re digging deeper about WHY exactly grief hurts so bad.Why it burns and aches in places we didn’t know we had within us, why that’s sometimes hard to understand, and why it can be so difficult to navigate on a day-to-day basis. But when we can better understand the “why” behind this, we can better understand the emotions we’re feeling and why they’re coming up so strong.That, my friend, is when we can start feeling unstuck, more patient with our grief, and even hopeful that this process will evolve and shift with time and the right grief work.Work with me:Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journalBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 043. Making Decisions While Grieving a Loved One | 22 Feb 2024 | 00:33:14 | |
Having to make decisions when a loved one’s health is declining, or even after they've died, is not only difficult but is something we can question over and over again.We can question whether our decisions about things are the right ones through the fog of our grief, and not even want the weight of that responsibility, right? So, if we’re faced with decisions like this, what do we do? What do we do if we HAVE to make decisions, be it about their health, their estate, legal issues, decisions that affect our family, etc.?Your gain from this episode will be to join me in identifying how and why making decisions around our loved ones can be one of the most confounding parts of the process before they die, and even after they die. You know I’m all about coping tools, so we’ll also get into some ways to better cope with this, feel a little better about it, and find some peace with it all.Work with me:Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gainsWebsite: https://lossesbecomegains.com/Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journalBy accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

| 042. Meeting Our Grief Where It’s At with Grant Garry | 15 Feb 2024 | 00:49:46 | |
I’m thrilled to share the stage today with Filmmaker, Actor, Singer, and Certified Grief Educator, Grant Garry.Grant is the director of the documentary "Meet Me Where I Am”, which explores the topic of grief through individual stories of loss, love, and hope.It also focuses on how to "be there" for grievers, and what to do/say and what not to do/say. It features some really incredible people and voices in the grief space, and even some famous faces you would recognize that are being brutally honest and open with their grief which is SO refreshing! I was lucky enough to get a little sneak preview, and I genuinely loved this documentary so, so much. I might have shed a happy tear... or five! This film addresses topics and situations that truly need to be recognized and discussed more, and I am so here for it.It’s so encouraging to see what Grant is doing here in directing this highly-needed film to help normalize grief. This conversation today is so needed in my opinion, and I think Grant has such a unique perspective on grief having been a part of this filmmaking process. I hope you enjoy it and that it resonates with you!

I'm so excited to bring you a special episode this week in honor of me turning 33 on February 2nd: 3 Things I've Learned at 33 Years Old. Truthfully, there are a lot of things I've learned in my 33 years here Earthside so far. But, given I can't talk your ear off for too long, I narrowed it down to three major life lessons that I can't wait to share with you.
