How Can You Learn to Love Grief More with Amanda Kate

Amanda Kate is a Kinesiologist, an author and an archetypal life coach. She is also a spiritual Seeker and a truth teller whose inner Sage has an insatiable quest for knowledge, wisdom and new ways of becoming. In this profound episode, Amanda and I talk about: -Her and her grief as comfortable roommates. -the grief of internal deaths, passing through different phases of life, what could have been, of place, of loss of business and of relationships not working out (most all the griefs we carry that aren't a response to physical death). -how the loss of people forces us to process the death of ourselves.  -the heartbreak we both feel of seeing grief on people’s bodies and knowing they don't have a language for it or understand it as grief. -how acknowledgment of grief makes life richer and lets our lives be instruments of change.  -the power of changing "but" to "and" and how embodiment invites in the holding of complexity and multiple realities.  -the grief of feeling the parts of us that we’ve suppressed and stifled overtime. -how we try to make grief into something else to appease other people and protect them from feeling our pain -The connection between denied parts of grief and chronic fatigue.  -How suppression of self IS a root cause of emotional stress that rarely gets acknowledged or understood as such. -how the herd mentality allows us to connect to grief that we haven’t let ourselves express and how public figures allow us to project our own stuff -how other people's grief triggers our fear of death -the deep embodied satisfaction of giving grief it's full expression  -how her understanding of grief impacts her work with her clients -the innate capacity we all carry to heal and process our grief. -the natural physiological process of moving grief and how taxing it is for the body to hold in suppressed grief (feel it to heal it). -how the body’s intelligence allows grief to unwind in its own way and naturally. -the power of multi-practitioner help. -how spirit helped her the access her own grief. -her process of coming into the deep knowing, with divine guidance, that it was time to start honoring the parts of herself that she had locked away.
