Today, I had the privilege of connecting with the incredible Kris Carr. Kris is a wellness leader and a New York Times bestselling author who recently published a book about navigating the loss of her father and beloved pet, titled "I'm Not a Mourning Person." In our conversation, we dive into Kris's grieving journey and how she is offering support to others in their grief. We also talk about the wisdom that Kris's father gave to her throughout her life, which she still lives by today.

We discuss how to allow yourself to feel emotions fully and embrace your unique healing timeline. Plus, Kris shares some insights from her book, including how to manage uncomfortable interactions with grief and the importance of proactively offering specific support to those in need. Kris highlights why you should always acknowledge all aspects of grief while striving to find moments of joy and connection amidst the pain.
