Grief is Part of the Human Experience: Debunking Myths with Grief Recovery Method Specialist - Jinnie Lee Schmid

Today we welcome Jinnie Lee Schmid to the pod! Jinnie is an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist who helps others recognize and release their grief. Today, she will help us define grief, debunk a few myths, and assure us that grieving looks different for everyone.

Jinnie’s path to this career started with a chaotic childhood and the loss of her grandmother as an adult. Over time, her grief became heavier, each layer adding onto the last. Without the proper tools to unpack her emotions, Jinnie wore her grief like a heavy backpack. Until she took it off. It was then that she realized she could help other people release their own burden of grief.

In this episode, we learn how grief can present itself beyond death and divorce. It’s not always sad, either. Sometimes we grieve our lives before marriage, a big move, or a new job. Ultimately, any change in life or ending of a familiar pattern can cause grief. One message is clear: grief is as unique to everyone as the recovery process.
