Join us as we kick of Mental Health Awareness Month! This week we have Author, Podcast Host, TedX speaker, and Psychotherapist Meghan Riordan Jarvis. We talk about how it's unfair to feel like there is more work to do after loss while grieving, and yet we need to learn what boundaries are and how to set them if we are going to thrive. Navigating loss, condolences, struggling to find support, and learning to be honest with ourselves and others about where we are at in our grief. We also discuss how companies, hr professionals, and leaders can support employees in grief and loss. A short Bereavement leave s just the beginning, and its time we show up to that.  Learn what help texts are and how they can support your team.

This week's episode is inspired by Week 22 of First Year of Grief Club, which is all about Boundaries.  Honouring a grief journey gets to come with personal boundaries with both ourselves and others. Are there times when you felt as if you had set a boundary? Maybe you avoided becoming overstimulated, unnecessarily upset, or ending up too far down the rabbit hole of an existential crisis by managing this?
