The Dance of Caregiving, Grief and Self-Compassion - Marisa Renee Lee
Season 1, Episode 14
We talk a lot about self-compassion and grief. We even have cute sayings like "put your oxygen mask on first," as a way to stave off burnout and fatigue. What happens when you've been in seasons of deep heartbreak, loss, and joy? How do you incorporate grief as a part of the normal ebb and flow of life?
Grief advocate, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Marisa Renee Lee answers this question head on with grace and compassion in this episode. She shares about her own grief journey in losing her mom, her mother-in-law, and others in her family and community. She talks about the both/and of ambiguous grief with infertility, pregnancy loss, and the joy of adoption. Marisa also shares how she's intentionally pushing against the systems that keep us distracted from experiencing healing and finding our footing.
