This month, we explore letting out small bits of grief at regular intervals to offset the more painful grief experience that can sometimes happen when we're not expecting it. If you find you need additional support around this topic and live in the Western NC area, please reach out to our office and we will be happy to guide you. Please consider subscribing to the podcast so you can get access to the episodes each month and take good care.

This month, we're focusing on what might be counterintuitive, slowing down. While the rest of humanity seems determined to race to the finish, what would it look like to take a page from our nature friends and carve out some time to do the opposite? Please join us for another Soul Sessions podcast. Don't forget to comment and subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating, if you feel so inclined.

Nearly 12 months ago, our community in Western North Carolina was impacted dramatically and forever changed. While not everyone was affected the same way, it is generally accepted that we experienced a collective potentially traumatic event and are still working to rebuild. This episode seeks to commemorate that event, honoring the losses while also tending to what is happening right now. Wherever you are on this journey post-Helene, you are welcome here and we hope you find this offering supportive and helpful. Please reach out with any questions or comments and share with anyone else who might benefit from this information.
