Global pandemics, social injustice, the climate crisis, and now, terrorists attacking The Capitol? I know it can feel like the world is getting worse and worse each day. Finding peace in chaos seems like a challenge we must face far too often.

When dystopian nightmares become today’s actual news, and you find yourself facing the unimaginable, how do you deal with all the bad in the world and even begin to manage your wellbeing?

How can you find peace in chaos, contempt, antagonism, and violence?

Finding peace may sound daunting right now because it is. It’s vital to remember that peace within yourself is still possible in tough times like these.

Here are some ways to help you protect your wellbeing when you feel like the world is crumbling.

From breakups, to losing a loved one, we all experience grief and loss.

In this conversation, Brittney and I get REAL, and very vulnerable. I share about losing a loved one to suicide 10 years ago, and what my process of coping and recovery looked like. I also share my experiences working with clients dealing with the different types of grief and what to expect in your own grief process. Most importantly, we talk about ways to heal from loss and the hope that is available even in the midst of grief.

Suicide prevention means a lot to me. I lost my own brother to suicide nearly a decade ago. It was the most painful experience of my life and the pain of loss is a something that you get used to but it never really goes away. You can believe me when I say I never want someone to experience the pain of losing someone in their lives to suicide.
