Grief and loss will be part of all of our lives at some point. Having resilience and also self-compassion to support yourself when you lose a loved one is so important. But so is it important to help you stay healthy and well in every way. I’m exploring this sensitive and very important topic with an incredible guest today - Lisa K. Boehm. Lisa is discussing the importance of resilience and sharing her personal journey after the tragic loss of her daughter, Katie, and how it transformed her understanding of grief. We talk about the various forms of loss, the significance of self-care, and the necessity of community support. Lisa emphasises that resilience is a choice and can be cultivated through small, meaningful steps. Our conversation highlights the need for women to connect and support each other, especially during challenging times. Having a supportive network and community can be a challenge when our lives are fast-paced and midlife has perhaps thrown many curveballs at you. Lisa shares advice on how you can find and connect with a new community, even in midlife. In this episode we share: That resilience is crucial for navigating any of life's challenges. The rising challenges women are facing to their health and the role of resilience to navigate this with strength and ease. Why community support is essential for building resilience. That grief can manifest in many forms beyond losing a loved one. It's important to allow yourself to feel and process grief. How self-care is foundational for mental health and healing. The way joy and grief can coexist; one does not negate the other. The importance of rediscovering yourself after loss and appreciating that this is a journey. About Lisa: Lisa K.
