On this episode of the Happy Time Craftcast one of my best friends for the past twenty years is my guest. Lisa M. Bolt Simons, is not just an accomplished author and educator but also a passionate artisan who understands the power of using art to help work through life’s ups and downs.In this episode, we’re focusing on the heartfelt “Shadows and Sunlight: A Journey Through Grief”. As an author, educator, and speaker Lisa has helped hundreds of people navigate their journey through grief and loss. Lisa describes herself as “just a normal person who has been living with grief my whole life and these are some of the things I do to live fully in my truth.” Lisa helps people understand that grief is personal, there are no prescriptive timelines, and there is no magic wand to make everything better. As Lisa explains, what we have is an opportunity to understand, navigate, live as best we can. You can check out her work and connect with her via her website and social.Website: https://lisamboltsimons.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/lisamboltsimons Facebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076938844132 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-m-bolt-simons-04489162 Twitter: https://twitter.com/LisaMBoltSimons Timestamps:0:01 - Introduction and guest background1:24 - Lisa’s background and interests2:55 - Discussing grief and its impacts5:33 - Grief workshop formats8:00 - The coexistence of grief and happiness10:27 - Misconceptions about grief16:01 - Creative expressions in grief workshops19:14 - The broad impact of loss20:10 - The challenges of societal views on grief23:13 - Lisa's current projects29:33 - Grief retreats at Big Raven Farm32:06 - Episode conclusion and thanksSubscribe to the Happy Time Craftcast on Apple Podcasts to ensure you don’t miss this inspiring episode.
