You may not know this about me, but I was not always a fan of diving deep into all of the spectrum of human emotions. My former way of coping with feelings of sadness, anxiety, jealousy, and anger used to be 🍨🍫🍪 pints of icecream, boxes of cookies and the infamous m&ms I talk about in both TEDx talks. 😩   After many years of doing deep inner work with therapists, coaches, 12-step programs and in my masters degree program in health & wellness coaching, I’m able to now process and experience all of my emotions sans sugar (most of the time). That sentence in itself is a miracle and something I couldn’t say 20 years ago.  Today’s guest, Kris Carr, a thought leader and expert on health and wholeness, shares all about how to actually manage grief in our conversation, and in her newest bestselling book, I’m Not A Mourning Person.   Key Takeaways: 🏆 Kris Carr shares her wellness journey, highlighting self-care's importance. 🔍 Carr's wellness journey involved curiosity, creativity, and lifestyle changes. 📚 Kris Carr emphasizes emotional well-being in holistic health. 💔 Kris stresses the impact of grief and the need for coping tools. ❤️ How to approach emotions with curiosity and compassion 💪 Embracing love and grief leads to authenticity. 🌊 Experiencing grief fully deepens one's capacity for love. ⏰ Focus on how you want to feel in life. 🔄 Societal expectations may lead to dissatisfaction. ⛔ Saying no and embracing change is crucial for growth. 🌟 Embrace everyday golden moments.   Kris Carr is a New York Times bestselling author and a 20-year cancer thriver.
