How to Navigate Grief With Love and Intention With Marisa Renee Lee

Hey lady! We can be honest about the tenor of this year – even with personal joys – this year has an air of heaviness to it. We are collectively grieving so much and some of us are also grieving on a personal level as well. Grief is not something that we do well in this country, which is why this week Dr. Dom and Terri are excited to welcome Marisa Renee Lee, award-winning and bestselling author of Grief is Love and her book Waiting for Dawn , to discuss the levels of grief and how to navigate a challenging world with loads of self-compassion and care. Marisa shares how she has built a life around the grief that showed up in her late adolescence and has showed up in various ways despite building a high-achieving, ambitious life. She offers a grounded, authentic perspective about the levels and layers of grief and how learning how to live with it and give it space in your life can actually open up room for deeper love, deeper understanding, and a more connected relationship with life. Marisa's journey includes profound loss and a new relationship with her body by understanding its needs after being diagnosed with chronic illness. Lady, grief is a real component of life. It is inevitable and unavoidable but knowing that there is a path through the grief and that there are tools to support the journey can make all the difference between a life of suffering and a life of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. Which path will you choose? Whatever road you take, lady, we're walking right beside you towards our joy. Be well!
