We discuss the deep, often complex emotions that come with losing loved ones, from family to friends who feel like family. For me, this season has brought a series of losses, including the recent passing of my friend Flea, as well as the anniversaries of losing my son and my brother. Riddhi and I explore how we each cope with grief, find healing, and continue to honor those we’ve lost.

As we navigate this journey, we’re sharing some resources that may help others. One powerful resource is Anderson Cooper’s podcast, All There Is, where he delves into his own experiences with grief. He’s joined by Francis Weller, a grief expert, who offers insight into understanding and coping with loss. We hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone in your grief—and that there’s support, healing, and even a renewed sense of life on the other side of sorrow.

If you’re looking for a community that understands, tune in, take care, and remember to honor your loved ones in your own way.

So many women I talk to who are in mid-life take a long hard look at life and are asking themselves, "How can I make my life happier, more meaningful, more creative, more productive, more satisfying."

]]> Join me as I talk with Lori Saitz!

Lori Saitz is the founder and CEO of Zen Rabbit (zenrabbit.com) and host of the podcast, "Fine is a 4-Letter Word." An award-winning writer, speaker, and broadcaster, Lori is on a mission to teach the world to be calm and grounded no matter what is going on. 

So many women I talk to who are in mid-life take a long hard look at life and are asking themselves, "How can I make my life happier, more meaningful, more creative, more productive, more satisfying." It is not a new phenomenon...we've been asking ourselves this for millennia. Seeking. Searching. Wanting to live our best lives...but what is that really?

Lori explores the beliefs that have been programmed and engrained in us since birth and stories we have told ourselves over and over.

My mom is in her late 70s and is experiencing dementia, as is my Aunt Elaine, her older sister who just turned 80. I love both of these women with all of my heart, and it is difficult to watch them lose cognitive abilities. They are not alone. As Americans continue to live longer, dementia is poised to become the biggest health challenge of the next few decades. The CDC expects the number living with Alzheimer's to more than double from 5 million to 14 million by 2050.

I had the opportunity to speak with my cousin, Casey (my Aunt Elaine's son) and his friend and one of the individuals helping provide support to him and his mom, Dr. Debra Tann. Dr. Tann specializes in brain health in Valdosta, Georgia, where my cousin and Aunt live. 

Dr. Tann has an impressive background. For the past seven years, she has committed her life’s work to the advocacy of Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Her calling is to educate, empower, and encourage those in our community and at-large.

Reminiscent (debraondementia.com) is the name of her business located in Georgia that is focused upon enhancing and advancing the knowledge and dialogue concerning dementia. Reminiscent strives to dismantle myths, illuminate the truths about the disease, and destigmatize those who are living with dementia, and usher uncompromised support for caregivers. 

She is an advocate, educator, stigma-buster and has a long list of accomplishments. She has written a book called, The Race of Dementia(Amazon, $15). 

And Casey helps so many people through his counseling services and year of experience.

  • Check to see if your state has an adoption reunion registry.
  • Request your adoption records.
  • Contact the person who arranged your adoption, if possible.

What this means is that whether we realize it or not, we are responsible for bringing both positive and negative influences into our lives. A key part of the Law of Attraction is understanding what you focus on, manifests – which can have an intense impact on what happens to you. If you spend your days wallowing in regrets about the past or fears of the future, you’ll likely see more negativity appearing and limiting beliefs taking over, but if you look for the silver lining in every experience then you’ll soon start to see positivity surrounding you every day. Therefore, the Law of Attraction encourages you to see that you have the freedom to take control of how your future develops, shaping it in the ways you choose.

It doesn't matter at what stage you are at on your manifesting journey, there is always more to learn about the Law of Attraction. Manifesting doesn't go on vacation, which is why when you start using the Law of Attraction and consistently keep using it to its full potential, this is when you begin to understand that manifestations occur in very subtle ways every minute of the day. Becoming more mindful of your own thoughts helps you to discover what you should keep or remove from your own mind and the reality of your experience. You will become more attentive to underlying negativity and can start to combat it with new beliefs and feelings that better reflect your positive vision of the coming days. This ongoing focus on self-reflection also enables you to start seeing what you really want from your future, and you can then progress to formulating clearer goals with actionable steps at every stage.

Here are some helpful resources as you explore manifesting in your life:
