In this episode I have the privilege of talking to a very beautiful soul, Nathalie Himmelrich, around some very sensitive and confronting topics. Nathalie is a passionate writer, holistic counsellor, coach, woman & mother. Her areas of specialty are relationships, grief, and trauma, with a passion to help people find their inspiration for healthy grieving. Nathalie knows this topic well through the insights gained from her own traumatic experiences around grief. We explore the tough decisions she had to make for her sick child in utero, and subsequent passing. Dealing with her mum's depression and her death shortly after the birth of her twins. The difference between active and passive grief, and how we have been textured by our grief through our experiences, beliefs, and understandings. We also take a look at modelling our grief and the ever-changing nature of it.
This is a very rich conversation, peppered with personal insights, that allows you to sit comfortably with your grief, in whatever form that may take. These are areas of grief we don't typically speak about, so I am grateful for Nathalie sharing so much invaluable information around bridging these gaps.
Following this conversation I had the privilege of sharing my own story on Nathalie's podcast How to deal with Grief and Trauma. You can find the link to this in the links below.
