420. Navigating Grief with Michelle Chalfant
Grieving the loss of a loved one can shake the foundation of your world, but what if there were practical tools to help you navigate this emotional whirlwind? Today, I dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of grief, sharing my personal journey after losing my beloved dog, Maya. Whether you're dealing with the loss of a loved one, a pet, or even the bittersweet transition of an empty nest, this episode is packed with compassion, wisdom, and practical tips to help you navigate tough times.
I kick things off by exploring the different faces of grief - it's not just about death. From the ache of watching your kids leave for college to the frustration of aging, I cover it all. I also share some invaluable self-care tips like eating well, getting proper rest, and indulging in those little comforts that make you feel human again.
Feeling lost about how to support a grieving friend? I’ve got your back. I discuss the importance of simply being present and holding space for their emotions without the need to "fix" anything.
Join me for an episode that's not just about surviving grief but thriving through it.
In this episode, you will hear:
- The importance of seeking support from friends, family, or support groups and the need for clear communication with your support network.
- Practical advice on self-care during grief, such as maintaining good nutrition, getting proper rest, and allowing moments of indulgence.
- How to support someone else through their grief, including holding space for their emotions and offering empathy without trying to fix their pain.
- The different phases of grief and the importance of recognizing when professional help may be needed.
- Practical tools and personal stories to help listeners navigate their grief with compassion and resilience.

    Thank you so much Michelle for that podcast. I am in the process of taking back my power and wanting a job that fits me and there are in fact many limiting beliefs and fears that are blocking me and/or making me feel really uncomfortable in my body. I have written them down and will try that 30sec repitation until it's no longer got power over me. Thank you Julie, I will go discover your channels.

    My mother called me her friend I’m like no why would I want an emotional draining friend? Seems like only thing she talks to me about is her and dads problems first words out of her mouth when she sees me your dad this your dad that I’m like if you’ll tell me how bad sorry dad is on your deaths bed for the last time. She just wants somebody too let listen to her emote about her marriage problems. She even told me the last time her and dad had sex. I’m like dang. I thought that parents kept those things to themselves it is a wonder she does not post on social media for sympathy.

    I heal trauma by meeting physical, mental, emotional needs, desires in healthy ways (I'm conscious and aware of how I meet needs, desires and why, and I'm conscious and aware of physical, mental, emotional needs, desires and what they are). So trauma to me, would be to do the opposite. Thank you for talking about trauma and healing 🌎💕🕊😘

    I'm not a clinician, but from what I'm putting together in my mind, from my experience of the borderline narcissist that was in my life, this has to be the root of his suffering. His father was emotionally unavailable and his mother was in pain, so he was absorbing that and accepting that as normal. Therefore resenting his parents and suppressing his wants and needs. Mind blown. Enmeshment really needs to be talked about more with personality disorders.

    I have a question in the hope that someone might have a tip. Anytime i try to do a meditation like this or connect to my inner child in any way, i get to the root of my shame because i don’t see a lovely child, i see a child through the beliefs that i have about myself today. That i was born with some kind of default, that something is inherently wrong with me and that i was bad from the beginning. I can‘t just put a switch and tell my inner child she is loved and did nothing wrong because it doesn’t feel like that. I carry so much shame that i don’t even know where it‘s coming from. My brain even searches for evidence of why this is true and why i was a broken person from the beginning and it always finds a reason or something that i would consider abnormal to confirm this. Even my own mum tells me that i was such an exhausting kid and that i had problems already when i was three. It hurts so much to hear this. It‘s so deeply ingrained in me. I just wanna feel like i am okay and worthy. I have a lot of cptsd symptoms as well but i don’t remember anything bad from my childhood at all which exacerbates my feelings of „something is wrong with me because there isn‘t even a valid reason to feel all that i am feeling.“ i can‘t trust myself or my perception, even when i tell my mum about stuff that hurt me in my young adolescence years , she tells me that i twist everything or that it‘s somehow always my fault. So i feel like i‘m making it up or have such a twisted perception that , again, means that something is seriously wrong with me. If anyone can relate and has tips on how to move through this, please let me know. Cognitive behavioral therapy didn’t help me either because it sits much deeper than my rational mind can access so i wanna start a trauma therapy. Which might sound absurd because i don’t remember consciously a big trauma but the symptoms are there and i just wanna feel at ease one day and feel like i’m okay. Sending love to everyone who reads this 💕

      Hello Alina. Thank you for your comment. I can feel your frustration as it sounds like this has been a lifetime of frustration for you and not sure where to turn. I am wondering if perhaps you brought this in with you from a past life? I honestly don't know but I do have someone that can help you get to the root of this and truly help you. Please go to Karencampion.com and get in with her for a session. She is someone I have known for over 20 years and an incredible practitioner. Let her know that I sent you and I am hoping you can get in right away. I believe you'll find great relief working with Karen and you'll finally be able to release the shame. Sending you much love. xo Michelle

    I did it with my mother. I literally saw a thick black cord between her and me. There were several other cords of anger, hatred and jealousy. I cut all the cords and saw a lot of black gunk flow out of myself and her when the cords were pulled back. I was overwhelmed with anxiety and felt a lot of anger and heavy negative thoughts coming towards me from her. I found this video just in time.

    Hi ! I have been into a healthy foodlifestyle for a while. My mum gets treatment for ovarian cancer. I have been supporting her foodwise, not too strict as she has been eating everything her entire life. She is a sugar / coffee addict and that is fine by me. Her body, her life. Now her doctor says, even while having cancer now, she is allowed to eat / drink everything she wants. I was in a HUGE shock when she told me. How can anyone this ever believe ??? Truth is, I love to guide my mum health/foodwise but am not wasting my precious energy. Love to focus on my own health. Thanks for this lovely podcast ❤️🌟🥰
