Top Posts of 2023 - #5 We get fed A LOT of lies throughout our life. Some are explicit like, “Santa Claus is real and he’s totally friends with the Easter Bunny.” Others are more subtle, nuanced, and hurtful to our emotional and spiritual growth. In short, we’ve been fed a bunch of BS* when it comes to Grief and Vulnerability. This is why I’ve written up a list of the 12 Myths of Grief and Vulnerability. Check it out on my blog because I’m sure you hear myths like these ALL THE TIME and they play a big part in keeping you stuck. They can be all the more frustrating when you’re deep in the midst of grieving. Remember, if you have a specific question or concern that I can help you with, don’t be shy, comment below! *BS = Belief System and/or Bullsh!t...you decide which is true for you #2023goals #takeactionnow #healyourheart #griefrecovery #griefrecoverymethod #griefcoach #griefcoaching #actionistheantidote #feelbetterin2023 #puthepainbehindyou #feelbetter #feelbetterlivemore #heretohelp #lifecoaching

Top posts of 2023 - #8 I'm not the trendiest gal, but when I heard of this recent trend on TikTok, it forced me to pause and reflect on these past 3 years. And I have to say, the March 2020 version of me would be blown away by the shifts and changes that have occurred. How about you? What's shifted for you in these past 3 years? #reflections #March2020 #3years #changes #lifecoach #griefcoach #eventplanner #balance #worklifeblend #worklifebalance #beachhouse #boundaries #opportunities #alignment #ease #flow #fiercefaith

Facing grief is a journey no one should travel alone. I was reminded of this during the cancer retreat I attended this past weekend up in Haliburton. Loss can make us feel so dang isolated, but we're not alone.

If you or someone you know needs guidance through the healing process, I'm here to help. Schedule a no-obligation discovery call to see how grief coaching can provide support and clarity.

As we wind down 2023, I always find this time of year perfect for reflection and gratitude. One of my holiday traditions is to reflect on the highlights of the year. It helps me focus on the good instead of the 'not so good'. So, today begins my Top 10 posts of 2023 countdown - the highlights of good ol' social media mixed in with heaps of gratitude for y'all being here and sharing the love. *** Have you ever thought about what your legacy will be? Kinda a random question, I know. But given my line of work, it’s something I think about fairly often because it reveals a lot about how we’re living right now. A ‘begin at the end’ sorta thing… You cannot leave this world without having a legacy. A legacy is more than a hospital wing in your name. It’s not something reserved for the wealthy or elite. Your legacy is in the lives you touch. As Maya Angelou said “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Perhaps your legacy is as simple as your sunny disposition – the fact you always greeted others with a big smile, a kind word, and an awesome hug. Or how you could brighten up anyone’s day with a Dad joke, some silly dance moves, and an uplifting story. Perhaps your legacy is the fact that you were always there for your people. They know they could call and count on you. Maybe you were generous with your time, talents, or money. The big accomplishments and grand gestures might feel more glamorous or sexy but I’m convinced the real wealth of our legacy lies in the connections we make. In loving and being loved. In showing up for others in meaningful ways. What do you think? Comment below....

As the holiday season rolls in, we're all too familiar with its stresses and 'red flags'. But it's important to seek out our 'glimmers' and 'green flags' too – those moments that fill our cups and warm our hearts. Here's a few of my glimmers: Rest More, Stress Less: Embrace the radical act of getting enough sleep. And having clean sheets -it's a simple pleasure that brings immense joy. Nature's Therapy: Step outside, go for a walk, connect with nature and I dunno, maybe have a friendly chat with a squirrel. Creative Containers: Unleash your inner Picasso, Hemingway, or Julia Child. Draw, write, or cook - let those creative juices flowww. Kindness Confetti: Scatter random acts of kindness. They come back to you in the most unexpected ways. Sense-sational: Light a candle and let your favourite scent envelop you. It's a small act that creates a big impact on your mood. Pet Cuddle Marathon: Got a furry friend? It’s cuddle o’clock! No pet? A stuffed animal or a comfy pillow and blanket are great snuggle buddies. Tidy Space, Tidy Mind: Decluttering can be oddly satisfying. Rediscover treasures and enjoy the calm of a tidy space. Read & Unwind: Dive into a good book. Sometimes, fictional characters are the best company. Plant Parenthood: Show some love to your leafy friends. They're great listeners. Hug it Out: Hugs are human chargers. Give a hug, get a hug – it's a win-win for everyone! Move & Groove: Dance or do yoga to connect with your inner zen. It's about moving your body in a way that brings you joy. Soundtrack of Your Life: Blast your 'Wrapped' playlist and have a mini-concert – hairbrush microphones encouraged! Share your own 'glimmers' in the comments – what small joys are lighting up your holiday season? Let's spread the cheer and support each other in finding our festive glimmers! (Mine was swapping my face for Cameron Diaz in this reel - did you notice?) #holidays #glimmers #fillyourbucket #greenflags #findjoyintheseason

These are heavy emotional times. The collective grief we're experiencing is immense and many of us are mourning the tragic loss of loved ones overseas. Leaving us to navigate our own shattered hearts thousands of miles away and wonder how we find 'peace within the pieces'. Here are a few suggestions: Virtual Connection - If physical hugs aren't possible, the warmth of a video call can do wonders for the soul. Seeing and hearing loved ones who are also affected elsewhere in the world can alleviate the isolating feeling that often accompanies grief. Going Within - Take a moment to honour the lives of those you've lost. Light a candle, write them a letter, or create a small space in your home dedicated to their memory. These rituals help in acknowledging the depth of your emotions, letting healing begin from the inside out. Nourishing Yourself -The state of the world can be overwhelming. It's crucial to carve out time for self-care. Whether it's walking in nature, meditating, journaling, or disconnecting from the news, find what nourishes your nervous system and brings you peace. Breathing Through It - Emotions can feel like an unwelcome burden during challenging times. Don't ignore them; instead, breathe through them. Emotions need to move. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and visualize these emotions lifting away. Sometimes, relief comes in the form of a simple exhale. Community Care - An online memorial or sharing session can be a powerful platform for collective grieving. It's a space for everyone to come together, share memories, and provide emotional support for each other. Let us know what other rituals feel supportive to you in difficult times by commenting below. Sending heaps of love and support through the ethers. ❤️‍🩹 Tammy * * * * * #grief #loss #GriefCoach #griefsupport #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefawareness #griefshare #griefisreal #griefhealing #griefandlosssupport #griefprocess #griefandhealing #griefcoaching #grief

In times of global distress, our collective grief rises, highlighting our shared humanity.Our interconnected world feels every ripple. Today, with the heart-wrenching situation unfolding in Israel, it's crucial to recognize and navigate this collective grief. 💔 𝕎𝕙𝕪 𝕕𝕠 𝕨𝕖 𝕘𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕧𝕖 𝕥𝕠𝕘𝕖𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣? Often, our collective grief is a reflection of the world we wish we lived in. We carry an image in our minds of the community, nation, and global society we belong to. When events challenge this vision, it can be disorienting. This shared sorrow can also amplify our personal losses. Memories of a childhood friend gone too soon, a dearly missed family member, or the time our sense of safety was stolen from us. And as we watch tragedies unfold miles away, many of us grapple with feelings of helplessness. Our hearts bleed for those affected, yet we may feel paralyzed, uncertain of how to help. 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕔𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕘𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕗? It's the shared sorrow we feel for situations that might not directly impact us. But because we're interconnected, the weight is felt universally. ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕕𝕠𝕖𝕤 𝕚𝕥 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕗𝕖𝕤𝕥? You might recognize it as feelings of detachment, fatigue, overwhelm, fear, anger, or even anxiety. It's natural and a testament to our human capacity for empathy. ✨ 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕔𝕒𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕠? Self-Care: Understand your emotions. Meet them with curiosity and give them space. Remember, they're signaling something important to you. Talk to the kids: Ensure they're processing these events in a safe and understanding environment. Helping others: Engage in communal activities, support 'boots on the ground' organizations making a difference, and remain connected so you don't feel isolated. Stay hopeful: Our world is resilient, loving, and capable of immense kindness. We need open hearts if we

Grief isn't just associated with death. In fact, there are over 40 types of losses that can trigger feelings of grief. Interesting eh? When grief is defined as "the conflicting feelings caused by the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behaviour" you can start to see how many losses we go through in our lifetimes. With that definition in mind, what's the first loss you can remember in your life? I'll go first in the comments... * * * * * #grief #loss #GriefRecoveryMethod #GriefCoach #griefsupport #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefawareness #griefshare #griefisreal #griefhealing #griefandlosssupport #griefprocess #griefandhealing #griefcoaching #griefcomesinwaves #griefstories #griefquotes #grieving #bereavement #griefsucks #miscarriage #lifeafterloss #movingon #mentalhealthadvocate #heartache #healinghearts #grievingprocess #mentalhealthrecovery #lossofalovedone

As the Northern Hemisphere readies for the embrace of Autumn, it serves as a timely reminder of life's profound cycles. Much like nature’s seasons, our own lives unfold in rhythmic patterns. Sometimes, we bask in warmth and light; at other times, we find ourselves navigating darker, colder patches, where it seems the light is but a distant glimmer. 🌱 Spring: This phase is a testament to rebirth, a return of vitality. It's when the barrenness of winter gives way to the first signs of life. In our lives, Spring is that first smile after a long bout of tears, the initial moment of hope after prolonged despair. ☀️ Summer: A period of blossoming and thriving. Our troubles don't disappear, but they might feel lighter, more manageable. It's the long conversations with friends, the laughter shared, the small steps forward. 🍂 Autumn: The season of reflection. Leaves may fall, but they lay the foundation for future growth, much like our own experiences. In grief, it’s the acceptance phase, the understanding that pain has transformed us, but it doesn't define us. ❄️ Winter: The hardest phase, filled with introspection and stillness. It’s in these cold, silent moments that grief feels most overwhelming. But remember, even in the harshest of winters, life is merely dormant, not gone. Just as trees stand resilient, waiting for spring, you too have the strength to persevere, to await the return of brighter days. So, as we sip our warm drinks and pull our blankets a little higher, let’s engage in some introspection: - In which season do you currently find yourself? - Have you found unexpected sources of warmth during your personal Winters? - What gives you hope during your most challenging moments? - How have you learned to appreciate your Springs and Summers? - And most importantly, how can you support yourself, or others, in preparing for the inevitable shifts in the cycle? Remember that no season is permanent. Each brings its lessons, challenges, and
