    103 — How to Find Peace in the Unknown with Professor/Author Brian Klaas
    Apr 29 2024
    The fear of the unknown can cause us to over-plan, micromanage, and worry about things that are beyond our control. But coping with uncertainty feels uncomfortable. According to author/professor Brian Klaas, many of the things that shape our lives aren't really within our control. A chance meeting at the grocery store might have a much more profound effect on your life than where you went to college. His book Fluke explains the role chance and chaos play in our lives. But he says everything we do is still important. Some of the things he talks about today are how to embrace radical uncertainty, accept things that you can't control, and recognize why every little thing you do matters.

    101 — 6 Strategies to Work Through Grief and Heal the Pain with Psychotherapist Meghan Jarvis
    Apr 22 2024

And if you're not careful, you might unknowingly do things that worsen the pain. Fortunately, Meghan Jarvis has studied the concrete strategies that heal. She's a psychotherapist who, after losing both of her parents, realized that the information about grief is inadequate. She's since written a book, launched a podcast, and made it her mission to help people learn how to grieve. Some of the things she shares today are the misconceptions about grief, the things that worsen the pain, and the concrete steps you can take to work through grief after your loss.
