The Framework for Mental Wellness: Grief, Forgiveness & Self-Love with Awstin Gregg

In this profoundly moving and insightful episode, Jennifer Hargrave sits down with Awstin Gregg — a healthcare entrepreneur, clinician, and global mental health speaker — to explore the foundational frameworks for emotional wellness. According to Austin, 99% of mental health issues can be improved with the right belief-based framework. Together, they unpack three essential pillars: forgiveness, grief, and self-love.

Gregg shares how deeply ingrained beliefs shape our behaviors and emotions—often without us realizing it. He walks through how unprocessed grief, unpracticed forgiveness, and performance-based self-worth can hold us back from living a vibrant life. He also emphasizes that emotions like sadness or grief are not problems to be fixed, but essential human experiences that need to be honored.

Listeners will gain practical insights on:

• Why grief often stems from unmet expectations and doesn’t need to be “solved”
• How forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness, is more about reclaiming your story than letting someone off the hook
• Ways to rebuild trust with yourself and shift internal dialogue from critical to compassionate
• The importance of asking life-shaping questions like “Who am I?” and “What do I want?”

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, emotionally numb, or navigating a major life transition. Whether you're grieving a loss, healing from betrayal, or simply seeking a more meaningful inner life, Awstin Gregg’s wisdom offers a grounded path toward emotional freedom and transformation.
