In this episode we talk with our most favorite guest Mira Wonderwheel (Savanna’s mom and Sue Ellens daughter) all about her recent experience of donating a kidney to her brother. If you’ve ever been curious about the process or if you’ve never been curious about the process this episode is for you! Mira first got inspired to donate a kidney listening to a podcast, maybe this one can do the same for someone else!

Join us as we sit down with psychotherapist, writer and grief activist Francis Weller. In today’s episode we are exploring the realms of ritual, grief, the long dark and why it’s so important to say “thank you.” As always we delve into these seemingly heavier topics with nothing but love and little humor along the way. We’re here to embrace it all.

And here’s a direct link to his book The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief

This week we’re talking about guilt, shame and “Shoulds”. How they all feed each other and how we’ve had enough of it. So many of us walk around with a cloud of nebulous guilt, what would happen if we all just started giving voices to our guilty conscious? How much freer could we all become?
