Listen "#5: Shining after trauma"
Episode Synopsis
Trigger warning: this episode has conversation about death, suicide, bereavement and tragedy. Please skip if this might trigger you.
I’m chatting with Sarah Miller to share her story of facing an unimaginable loss when her four-year-old daughter, Madeline, passed away in a tragic accident in 2021. Sarah wants her story to help others who face similar loss or tragedy in their lives. She is driven to share Madeleine's legacy and honour her energy through the support and guidance she provides.
What Sarah has experienced may not affect many of us, but her message of learning to live again when life feels impossible to continue with is a relevant and powerful one. At a time when so many of us are struggling to take care of our wellbeing, hearing how Sarah is lifting herself up and focusing on her wellbeing as she navigates and learns to live with her pain and grief is beyond inspiring.
In this episode you’ll learn:
Facing and learning to cope with unexpected loss or trauma.
Learning to love your life again when it’s dealt you the worst card possible.
The value and role of self-compassion in everyone’s life.
Taking small steps to build good wellbeing when just getting out of bed on a morning feels impossible.
About Heartmath and how to use it to feel calm.
Building habits that flow with ease and joy using habit stacking techniques.
Being more accepting of what comes your way to create new energy and focus.
Finding power in your tribe.
