See this content in the original post

In this milestone 50th episode, I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Heather Taylor Sidey, a specialist in grief and the host of the 'Grief is the New Normal' podcast. We discuss the complexities of Relationship OCD and highlight strategies for managing grief during the holiday season. 

Whether you've lost a loved one or are dealing with intrusive OCD thoughts, this episode provides practical advice and compassionate support. Dr. Taylor offers insights on setting boundaries, honoring your feelings, and how loved ones can offer meaningful support. We also explore her upcoming projects, including a book series on grief. Plus, I introduce a 12-week group coaching program for those grappling with relationship worries, set to launch in January 2025.
