Drop me a message or voice note!Today we’re welcoming Jordan Arogeti to the podcast! Jordan is the CEO and co-founder of SupportNow, and we’re digging into Jordan’s journey to creating a platform designed to offer comprehensive and compassionate support during major life events.We not only talk about the truly wonderful and unique functionalities of SupportNow that separate it from companies like GoFundMe and Meal Train, but we also get into the societal challenges around asking for help when we’re grieving and what this can look like for us as grievers—and supporters, too.Jordan shares super valuable insights about creating a culture of support, the importance of community during difficult times, how many different ways support can be shown, and discovering what our “support language” is (similar to love languages!).Most importantly, this conversation is all about how we can grieve in a more effective, peaceful, supported way.Connect with Jordan & SupportNow:https://www.supportnow.org/https://www.instagram.com/supportnow_org/Support the showSupport the podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/lifewithgriefpodcast📖 Life Beyond Grief Substack: https://taraaccardo.substack.com/Work with me:Micro-Moments for Transformation: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further:Leave a voice note: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2429466/fan_mail/newInstagram: 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://lossesbecomeg...

Drop me a message or voice note!I’m so thrilled to welcome travel expert, host, and executive producer of Dream of Italy and Dream of Europe on PBS, Kathy McCabe.Kathy is so incredibly talented, and when you’re watching one of her shows, you’d never know some of the trials and tribulations she’s endured. I think this is such a beautiful example of never really knowing what someone is going through just based off of seeing them on social media or TV, or even in person.After unexpectedly losing both of her parents, she found herself on a journey of self-discovery and healing through her adventures across Italy.Reconnecting with her Italian heritage, building a successful career, and choosing a path that doesn’t follow traditional societal norms for Gen X women of marriage or motherhood has been transformative for her. Now, she hopes to encourage others who may feel like they don’t fit into these molds to find fulfillment in their own way.Today’s conversation is all about embracing an unconventional path in life, and how travel helped her cope with the grief of losing both her parents.Kathy’s perspective comes from her personal experiences and 22+ years of travel storytelling through her award-winning series, and we have a really beautiful and vulnerable conversation that I have no doubt you’ll resonate with.Connect with Kathy:https://dreamofitaly.com/https://www.instagram.com/dreamofitaly/https://www.instagram.com/dreamofeuropetv/Click here to join me in my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience and begin feeling lighter, at peace, and more grounded today.

Drop me a message or voice note!Today we’re chatting with Adam Zuckerman of Buried in Work, an incredible resource that simplifies estate planning, end-of-life tasks, and estate transitions.Might not sound like the sexiest topic in the world, right? I totally get it. But this is IMPORTANT stuff here. I speak from my own experience of going through a three year probate process after my parents died. And let me tell you, that hands down made my grieving experience worse. There were things that came up that I never wanted to deal with—or never thought I would have to. But that’s the nature of grief, and the consequences of estate planning that wasn’t at the level it should have been.In this episode, Adam shares his emotional journey of the passing of his father that led him to create Buried in Work, and shares poignant advice and wisdom about the non-linear progress of grief.And of course, we dig into the importance of estate planning, end-of-life tasks, and estate transitions in a way that’s actually fun and interesting. This episode will leave you with so many resources and easy ways to implement these things in your own life, or the life of a loved one.Connect with Adam & Buried in Work:https://buriedinwork.com/https://www.instagram.com/buriedinwork/Click here to join me in my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience and begin feeling lighter, at peace, and more grounded today.

Drop me a message or voice note!In light of the devastating fires in Los Angeles, I couldn’t help but acknowledge this with special episode of the Life With Grief Podcast.As a Northern Californian who’s no stranger to fires and other natural disasters, this episode is not only about acknowledging the tragedy that continues unfolding and showing love to the thousands upon thousands of people affected, but to address the overwhelming grief, loss, and trauma that come with such natural disasters.As encouraging as it is to see people coming together to provide relief, I also see a lack of empathy and quick judgments in many cases. It’s more than just losing material items. Things that, on paper, could be easily replaced. It’s livelihoods, communities, schools, homes, sentimental items, and places of comfort that are gone within a matter of hours.Today is all about the importance of compassion, the need to acknowledge the depth of this tragedy, and understanding how grief like this runs so much deeper than we realize.How to support fire relief efforts:California Fire FoundationDirect ReliefRed Cross Fire ReliefWildfire Recovery FundLos Angeles Fire Department FoundationPasadena HumaneAmerican Red Cross: LA RegionClick here to join me in my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience and begin feeling lighter, at peace, and more grounded today.

Drop me a message or voice note!Frieds, I’m beyond honored and excited to share the story of Zachariah Thompson of The Scatter Joy Project with you today.Without giving away too much of his story, Zach's first experience with grief was when he lost his beloved uncle, Joe, when he was in 7th grade. That, and a very frightening health scare with his mom when he was 22.Aside from having countless commonalities and a really special bond with his uncle, Zach also inherited ARVC—a hereditary heart condition that would alter his life as he knew it.In this episode, Zach and I are digging into not only his profound story, but the dual nature of grief—grieving for lost versions of oneself, and this paradoxical grief of receiving a second chance at life. This, on top of losing dear loved ones as we both have.Zach elaborates on the emotional spectrum we can feel as we’re grieving, ranging from anger and resentment to gratitude, all while emphasizing how these experiences have transformed his life into a profound purpose in his work within mental health with The Scatter Joy Project.I first became familiar with The Scatter Joy Project through Instagram, ended up sharing a bunch of their content because it’s SO good, and from there I just knew I had to have Zach on with us. I know you'll love this episode as much as I do.Connect with Zach & The Scatter Joy Project:Website: https://thescatterjoyproject.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thescatterjoyproject/IG: https://www.instagram.com/zachariah.thompson/Support the showSupport the podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/lifewithgriefpodcast📖 Life Beyond Grief Substack: https://taraaccardo.substack.com/Work with me:Micro-Moments for Transformation: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-taraConnect with me further:Leave a voice note: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2429466/fan_mail/newInstagram: 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://lossesbecomeg...
