In this episode, we’re talking about grief itself. How many of us know what to do when we're experiencing grief? Certainly, it isn't something that's taught or modeled very often. So, it's natural we flounder in its mitts. I'm certain there'll be a deeper understanding of grief and its purpose by the end of our time together today.

Our guest, I’m thrilled to say, is Karla McLaren, who has a master’s in education, an award-winning author, a social science researcher, and an empathy expert. Her work focuses on her grand unified theory of emotions, which revalues even the most negative emotions and opens startling new pathways into self-awareness, effective communication, and healthy empathy.

Here’s what (and who) we talk about:

• How growing up with a lot of intense emotions led to Karla helping many others deal with these same emotions.
• “Discovering” grief and learning the ability to heal from indigenous wisdom.
• Grief is a communal emotion.
• What are grief rituals? How can they help an individual in search of healing?
• Considering “dropping down” instead of “holding up”.
• What makes grief so overwhelming and painful?
• The difference between grief from sadness.
• The purpose of anxiety and panic in our lives.
• And much more!
