All Vibes Welcome (a little chat about grief)

Last month was the one year anniversary of my friend’s death, and I thought it would be a good time to chat about grief. Please excuse the driving noises! It gets better about halfway through. P.S. “Church of Grief” coming soon!

Please honor Sara with me by enjoying all the music she shared with the world in her short life. Here’s a link to her Youtube page with the bulk of her recorded work. You can also listen to What My Body Needs on Spotify.

Musical Therapist

Let’s dive deeper into this phrase and why it bothers us so much. This is a short and sweet episode on the name that bugs us to no end, and maybe this chat will help us see it differently.

Where I was, where I am

Sharing a little update on life and work. It’s wild to think about where I was and where I am now. Hope this episode encourages you to keep chasing your dreams. Let yourself be open to the possibilities of good things coming your way. I also briefly go over the structure of hospice in states of a certificate of need. It’s confusing, but maybe a bit simpler after listening to the episode.

Too high of a standard?

How can we respect ourselves, our time, and our energy so that others also respect these? Here’s a conversation around burnout and the unrealistic expectations we may have. What would a sustainable job look like?
