These episodes pop-up every now and then instead of one of our 101 different types of loss, as I (Claire Sandys, one of the co-hosts of The Silent Why podcast) chat to a guest who has experience or expertise in a particular area that can help us either deal with, or prepare for, loss.
And I'm building a tool kit, well actually a whole tool shed, of equipment to help you face and get through loss. And I'm very keen to see what each guest adds to my new shed.
In this Let’s Chat… I spoke to Katie Elliott about Self Awareness.
We featured Katie in Episode 2 of The Silent Why. She lost both of her parents to dementia before reaching her mid-forties. She has so much wisdom and insight around the grieving process and how to stay mentally healthy that I was keen to invite her back to gain some tips and advice on how we can prepare and equip ourselves for loss.
Katie is the founder of Little Challenges, born out of her own time of recovering from a personal crisis, and she loves to help others with the ways she's learned to turn her life around.
One of the areas that Katie has learnt a lot about, in her own experience and helping others, is self awareness and the vital role it plays in coping with what life throws at you.
And the cards Katie talks about which enable you find simple things to help you cope in tough times, are the Amiko cards I mention in the outro.
