Welcome to Kinship In Healing - If you are reading this post, you have joined a global community of compassionate souls who are sharing a journey of trauma, loss, grief, personal growth and spirituality. Like every community, the individuals bring the value and you are so welcome here.
I want to share a little depth with you, why this podcast came to be and why you are so important to me. Before I go on, check in with yourself. How do you feel today? Acknowledge both your thoughts and feelings as well as your physical self. Are you in the moment right now? Observe if you are distracted, if so give yourself permission to clear your mind, remove distraction and take the next 10 minutes to yourself. Finally, take a deep breath just for you, sigh if you need to expel that stagnant energy. Now Smile, just for you.
In Episode 1 - A problem shared I touched on my journey through grief after the loss of my brother and son. After finding myself in a job that did not align with my true purpose and the physical manifestation of my pain, I made a decision to quit my job and seek out a path where helping others could become a reality. Why though? It is as simple as this, my experience post loss was very mixed and not all bad, but the underlying feeling I had was that true compassion and genuine understanding were lacking, especially in the workplace.
So what is this community? I think honestly it is very simple, you the listener will find the podcast for a reason, the community is diverse and therefore so are the episodes. We explore everything and anything that could possibly help people through their human experience whilst organically teaching compassion and understanding. You'll learn tools for self care and growth, explore spiritual and philosophical ideas, connect with other people's stories and discover outlets. Everything we could ever need is already within us, I sincerely hope our shared journey helps each of us to access those depths.
In my next post, I'm going to talk a little about my journey, the modalities I explore to support my healing and personal growth, the outlets I place value on and why I think joy is medicinal.
Thank you for being a part of this growing community. Wherever you are today, I hope you are safe and well. Come join me on Instagram to continue the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/kinshipinhealing/
