With a book and top-rated podcast that are both titled "Grief is a Sneaky Bitch," you might get a sense of Lisa Keefauver's irreverent humor and area of expertise. In this episode, we get all that and more. Lisa has been faced with repeated profound loss and grief and is a powerful voice showing us how to confront grief head-on and move forward rather than "move on." In this conversation, Lisa opens up about her late husband's  death, her own battle with cancer, and how she found light by becoming a "grief activist" who helps reimagine our narratives around loss.With her trademark warmth and humor, Lisa demonstrates how we can hold both sorrow and wonder at the same time, not as a Pollyanna illusion but as a way to turn towards our darkest experiences. She shares profound insights on speaking up for our grief, finding community and ritual to make it suck less, and tools we can use to nourish our mind and spirit for the road ahead. Whether you're personally grieving or want to support someone who is,  Lisa provides actionable advice  on how we can all hold space for the bereaved and bear witness to the profound experience of loss.You'll learn:The power of both/andHow to spot a grief thiefWhy our grief beliefs are set early on and how we can Marie Kondo them to serve us betterWhy grief is so sneakyWhy time is so confusing for grieversThe best ways to show up meaningfully for the people you care aboutHow to respond when someone says something hurtfulAnd so much more...Learn more about Lisa:Order the book Listen to the podcastSubscribe to the newsletterInstagramRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts "This is my go-to podcast for inspiration and to discover new approaches to embrace the challenges in my life."
