Finally, after over a year of rescheduling thanks to COVID we got to sit down and talk to the wonderful Rose Yavneh Taylor about her book “365 days past the traffic lights” and her relationship with grief after her dad passed suddenly due to cancer. Rose has had time to reflect on her father’s passing and what she felt in the moment and subsequently as well as how her feelings have evolved over time. Her book is a great help for anyone going through something similar as it is honest and raw and clearly written by someone who knows grief intimately.

It’s very rare you come across someone like Rhian. Her ability to speak about death, grief, and bereavement in such an honest and open manner made this difficult conversation profoundly memorable and inspiring. In this hour, Rhian tells us about the passing of her son and husband in the same week, how the initial days and weeks unfolded, and the process of post-traumatic growth which contributed towards the establishment of the bereavement charity 2WishUponAStar. Rhian provides a perspective on bereavement that we haven’t fully explored on the podcast before and certainly facilitated some catharsis for me and I hope for you. We’ve provided links below for Rhian’s charity if you’d like to learn more about her work. We really appreciate Rhian sharing her experience with us.

It is becoming increasingly accepted that our environment, our relationships, and our lifestyle have a huge say on our overall health. These are areas where your local GP cannot help so much. This is not a critique, GP’s play a significant role in the community however there are plainly some areas where a prescription or some advice might not have such a big positive impact. Social prescribing has evolved in acknowledgment of this and seeks to help those in our community that do not need medication but rather need connection, exercise, and to feel a part of something bigger. Joao Esteves is Mr. Social Prescribing and a very kind man.

Paul and Jim come from similar stock, in the sense that a big chunk of their perspective was cultivated over 4 years with the help of the same few lecturers in IADT Dun Laoghaire. Paul is now a practicing counsellor, who holds the majority of his sessions online. During this conversation, we cover the state of Irish mental health services, what Paul would recommend if one is struggling in the midst of these services, along with some of his favourite modes of inquiry and practices that have worked for him and his clients. Paul is a warm soul and it was a true delight having him on.

25/08/2021

Join Seb as he talks to his great friend Grace Ogden. Grace grew up with a passion (or a calling) for midwifery and is now a practicing midwife in Lincolnshire.
