This week on RfRx, drawing from over a decade of experience as a science communicator, Forrest Valkai will take us on a journey through some of the most powerful and life-changing lessons he knows.

This week on RfRx, Rebecca Hensler, founder of Grief Beyond Belief, will share her grief journey and tell the story of her efforts to fill the void that nonbelievers faced when grieving a loss. How is bereavement different when you are grieving without belief in a deity or afterlife? How does religious trauma impact the grieving process? Where can nonbelievers find comfort without faith? How can we as a community of freethinkers reach out to each other with rational compassion? https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligion https://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligion https://instagram.com/rfrorg https://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligion https://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg

This week on RfRx, Phil Ferguson, of the Phil Ferguson Show, returns to speak about his experience as a long-time skeptic and secular activist. He will share his insights regarding issues the secular community has grappled with in the past, as well as what he sees as the big issues that will challenge secular skeptics in the future. In an era of information overload, how should we invest our limited time and energy to critically evaluate information? How do we stay relevant and informed while protecting ourselves from being taken in by bad ideas? https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligion https://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligion https://instagram.com/rfrorg https://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligion https://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg

This week on RfRx, RfR Volunteer Nick Dallett joins us to share four disciplines for having difficult conversations. Nick has spent much of his 25 years as a software professional learning how people can communicate better, and has applied what he's learned to become a better manager and friend. In this talk, Nick will share how a simple interaction on Twitter led to a greater understanding of how to have great conversations, and what that can teach you about how to get better at coping when stakes are high and things get spicy. https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligion https://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligion https://instagram.com/rfrorg https://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligion https://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg

This week on RfRx, we’ll be talking with Tee Rogers, the developer of the “Identity Affirming Deathcare Directives” workbook. This is a great tool to help people address questions regarding end-of-life care from a secular perspective. Tee will get into what inspired her to create the workbook, the experiences she has in the healthcare field, and will be available for any questions you may bring. https://linktr.ee/RecoveringFromReligion https://www.facebook.com/RecoveringfromReligion https://instagram.com/rfrorg https://www.tiktok.com/@recoveringfromreligion https://bsky.app/profile/recoveringfromreligion.org https://www.linkedin.com/company/rfrorg
