Facing challenges in our lives, the need for support becomes so clear. But the support we receive may or may not truly do its job. Through her own life challenges, including the breast cancer diagnosis and death of her mother, Marisa Lee learned first-hand that her community of support often got it wrong. Marisa understood that this reflected a general lack of information about what helps and what doesn’t. Ultimately, she created a platform to offer practical and sage advice on how to help. Sharing the stories of those who have faced hard times and what helped them, those who care get an inside view of how to show up, avoid common support pitfalls, and say the helpful thing, instead of the platitude or cliché. When we know what to do, it is MUCH more likely that we'll step up and do it. Join us as we explore what led to Supportal and what Marisa has learned about supporting our loved ones in their most challenging moments.
On Good Grief we explore the losses that define our lives. Each week, we talk with people who have transformed themselves through the profound act of grieving. Why settle for surviving? Say yes to the many experiences that embody loss! Grief can teach you where your strengths are and ignite your courage. It can heighten your awareness of what is important to you and help you let go of what is not.
