Cat Peters joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about the relationship between grief and joy, and how grief can actually be a conduit to joy, hope, possibility, and connection if we allow it. Cat shares the role of remaining present in processing our grief, why so many of us have beliefs around grief that aren’t serving us - like, we won’t be able to handle it, it’s too big, it’s a weakness - and how we can begin to shift these beliefs.
We also dive into the difference between grief and other emotions like blame, shame, guilt and regret, the transformational power of grief, the richness that comes from allowing ourselves to feel and experience all of our emotions, and why it’s so important to validate our experience around pet loss.
Cat’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that our journey through grief is a deeply personal and intimate journey, but it’s not one we’re meant to go alone.
Cat Peters is a Certified Professional Mindset Coach and Energy Leadership Master Practitioner. After a long and successful career creating multiple businesses and traveling the world, Catherine faced burnout on an epic level. A breast cancer diagnosis in 2018 changed the trajectory of her life. In her search to heal herself and her life, she answered a long-time calling to help others as well. She now helps her clients heal their minds, clearing out the crap in their heads so they can finally create the life of their dreams, filled with magic, purpose, and lots of joy.

On the podcast today we're sharing our fifth session from Seek The Joy Summer with Helen Joy Butler, Home Energy Alchemist, Sanctuary Creator and Elemental Space Clearer, speaker, author and coach.
In this session Helen shares with us what sanctuary is, how we can create sanctuary in our homes and in our lives, and how by inviting in the joy of sanctuary we allow ourselves to experience a shift, come back home to ourselves, and bring us closer to our own sense of calm, connection and flow. Through the four sanctuary languages - quiet solitude, physical activity, connection and collaboration, and creativity - we explore how to build our sanctuary toolkit, and Helen shares her top tips for how each sanctuary language can invite greater sanctuary into their lives this summer season.

Christa Couture, an award-winning performing and recording artist, non-fiction writer, and broadcaster. She is also proudly Indigenous (mixed Cree and Scandinavian), queer, disabled, and a mom, joins Sydney for a powerful conversation on grief and loss, its connection to joy and love, and the gift that comes from sharing our experience with grief.
We dive into Christa's grief bio, why we need to “create from the scar and not the wound”, and how we can take care of ourselves when expressing and sharing our grief. We talk about Christa's book, "How To Lose Everything" and why she sees the book as an opportunity to give back, her advice for anyone who wants to support those in their life who are experiencing grief and loss.
Plus, we dive into the shift in perspective that comes with loss, letting go of the idea that “things will get better” and instead accepting that things will be different, why resilience sucks (it’s okay to not be resilient!), and why grief doesn’t exist in isolation. Plus, Christa shares her experience shifting to a very visible and beautiful prosthetic leg and no longer hiding her disability, her biggest dream, and so much more!
