Living Wakes and the Art of Goodbyes

I loved talked to Karen Sutton, The Widow Coach, about alternative ways to celebrate life NOW. I shared unconventional ceremonies and my unique approach in the form of Living Wakes.

Menopause and the absence of funerals.

Chatting to Sally Garozzo, Menopause Mindset Mentor was enormous fun and an area that really interests me. We discussed the fact that during menpause women also face significant losses. Healthy bereavement practices can positively impact symptoms.
