Episode 23: Stop Being the Salmon

Good Grief, People! Podcast

So this title may be confusing and you may be wondering, “what in the world are those girls going to be talking about today?!” Well, you need to listen in! We will tell you that we are using this analogy because so often while we go through our grief, we make it so much harder than it needs to be. Yes, of course, grief sucks! But are you making it even harder on yourself? Are you compounding it, pushing it away, not dealing with it, then letting it bubble up and come out in the worst way possible? Then you are acting like a salmon!

You see, salmon swim upstream. They are constantly fighting the current and working so hard to get to where they want to be. You don’t have to be a salmon. You don’t have to constantly swim upstream and make your grief journey more difficult than it already is.

Listen in to find out how to free yourself from the constant fight and figure out how to simply float.

In this episode, you will hear: -Why we compare our grief journeys (and life honestly!) to a salmon -How to recognize if you are being a salmon -Ways to stop fighting, let go and float -Who actually loves salmon and who does not!
