Description

In this episode I (Tanya Wilkinson) share the powerful but gentle practice of recognising and celebrating tiny wins as we are navigating our grief. Discussing how grief can feel isolating and exhausting, and encouraging you to honour your small achievements as a way to navigate through the weeds of grief. 

By focusing on these tiny wins, you can cultivate self-compassion and recognition of how you are navigating your grief. Including on those most griefy of days where just doing the basics feels like climbing a mountain - it’s important to acknowledge these as much as anything else.
