42. The Long Goodbye | Lauren Schenck (Blackford‪)‬ The Beautiful Side of Grief

Grief can come out of nowhere. Or be so drawn out over time that you may not even recognise it's there. My guest today, Lauren Blackford, experienced both types. The 'long goodbye' with her dad as he battled early-onset dementia, and the sudden, unexpected passing of her mom in 2020. With loads going on in her life she didn't give herself time to grieve her dad's passing 9 years earlier, so when her mom died, she doubled down and decided to go full speed ahead into the process. This Holistic Wellness and Integrative Nutrition Coach, and Yoga Instructor, used all the tools at her disposal from reiki, yoga, shamanic journeying, meditation to sound and crystal healing. This is a fantastic, open, honest insight into Lauren's mission to work through her grief and heal herself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
