#16 | Grief, Suicide, and Finding Peace (Stress Management for the Highly Sensitive Person)

What if the story you've believed your whole life about loss isn't the whole truth?

Losing a loved one—especially in a traumatic way—can lock us in loops of confusion, betrayal, and grief that feel impossible to escape. In this episode, a participant brings forward a decades-old wound: the suicide of her mother. Together, she and Todd explore this grief through "The Work" of Byron Katie, gently unraveling long-held beliefs to make space for understanding and peace.

1. You'll discover how questioning a single thought—"she committed suicide"—can shift an entire inner landscape.

2. You'll see how grief often masks deeper needs and how staying open to other perspectives can bring relief.

3. You'll learn how even the most painful memories can be softened through sincere self-inquiry.

Press play now to hear a profound journey through grief, clarity, and the quiet power of questioning your thoughts.
