Most of us in Midlife are no stranger to loss. At some point in our lives, we've experienced the loss of a grandparent or older family member. But what about other losses? The loss of a good friend, the loss of a career, or the loss of our health can all throw us for a loop.
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Cam's sweet friend Debby, who was a co-teacher with Cam for many years.
This episode is both touching and comforting as we explore different types of loss, but also ways of coping. This can be through social networks, supplements, and sticking to our 'minimums' through times of grief and stress.
We hope this episode comforts you and informs you, and if it resonates, please like and share.
