Trusting Your Intuition Through Grief with Dr. Lenka Schultz

When we're deep in grief, we often stop trusting ourselves. In this episode, intuologist, author, and spiritual guide Dr. Lenka Schultz explores the powerful connection between grief, self-esteem, and intuition — and why learning to go inward may be one of the most important things a grieving person can do. Dr. Lenka shares how grief lowers our energetic frequency, what it means to protect that vulnerable space with love, and how to tell the difference between intuition and fear. She also opens up about her own experiences with grief — including pregnancy loss, and the unexpected grief of leaving her homeland when she immigrated to the United States. A soul-level conversation about evolving through loss, finding the bridge between worlds, and surrendering to the full human experience. Guest Bio: Dr. Lenka is an insightful and resonant voice for podcast audiences seeking depth over hype. She speaks on the power of intuition as a practical, everyday tool; the intersection of spirituality and connection with nature; and how subtle energy awareness can transform health, relationships, and purpose. Her style is warm, clear, and thought-provoking—ideal for shows that value authentic, soul-centered conversation.

Grief, Relationships, and Dating After Loss: What Nobody Tells You with Joëlle Lydon

When someone is deep in grief, the people closest to them often want to help — but don't know how. And the grieving person? They're often too exhausted to explain. In this episode, relationship coach and author Joelle Lydon breaks down what's really happening in relationships when grief enters the picture, how both partners can navigate it without losing each other, and what dating after loss actually looks like. Joelle talks about the power of making clear and specific requests, why partners often inadvertently short-circuit the grief process by trying to fix things too quickly, and her concept of the sacred third — the relationship itself as something both people contribute to or take away from. She also dives into dating after loss — why transparency beats strategy, why dating is a sorting process not a search, and how companionship can look very different than you'd expect. Plus: a beautiful in-the-moment insight about honoring a friend through daily "marquee moments" at the dinner table. Guest Bio: Joëlle Lydon is a relationship coach, creativity facilitator, and the author of Unbreakable Us: Removing the Barriers to Love. For over 15 years, she has guided individuals and couples in understanding the deeper architecture of their relationships — helping them move beyond surface communication strategies into sustainable, embodied connection. Her work integrates relational systems thinking, nervous system awareness, and creative process to illuminate the patterns that quietly shape intimacy. Known for her clarity, depth, and grounded presence, Joëlle brings both intellectual rigor and heartfelt wisdom to conversations about love. Based in New York's Capital Region, she is passionate about reframing relationship education as a vital life skill — one that can be learned, practiced, and strengthened at any stage of life.

The Art of Letting Go: Navigating a Loved One's Belongings Intentionally (with Charlene Lam)

What do you do with a loved one's belongings after they die? In this episode, certified grief coach and TEDx speaker Charlene Lam — founder of the Grief Gallery — shares her Curating Grief framework: Collect, Curate, and Create. Each C carries a powerful anchoring question that helps grievers move from overwhelm to intention. Charlene and the GRIEF Ladies explore how to navigate the emotional weight of physical belongings, what to do when you have too much (or nothing at all), how grief changes the meaning of everyday objects over time, and how to reclaim your narrative — especially when relationships were complicated. Plus: the unforgettable story of commissioning, using, and ultimately smashing her mother's urn. Whether you're standing in a room full of someone's things or grieving without a single object to hold onto, this conversation meets you where you are. Guest Bio: Charlene Lam is a certified grief coach, TEDx speaker and the founder of The Grief Gallery. After her mother died suddenly in 2013, Charlene leaned into her creativity and instincts as a curator to guide herself through grief.
