Good things are happening for the people I love most right now and I feel so many different emotions.

My son just left for a new job out of state. A dear friend is buying a house and moving to North Carolina and though I am genuinely thrilled for each of them…I also noticed my heart ache with the missing of them just thinking about them leaving.

Turns out what I really want is for them to go off and live their best lives but also do that from my basement/town and be upstairs/over for dinner.

Good thing last week I did an episode about changing the lens on our lives lol.

So I've been feeling funny, a little off all week. Sort of fragile. It's the grief. Living underneath it all, amongst the change..even when it’s really wonderful change, which it usually is. Most of us just never learned to look for it there.

This one's for anyone who's been feeling a little off and couldn't quite say why.

3 Things You’ll Take Away:

1. Even good change has grief in it. The anxiety, the edginess, the feeling of being off is grief. Naming it changes how you relate to it.
2. The thing you're avoiding feeling is running your behavior. So much of our weird behavior traces back to a door we don't want to open (because feeling it means feeling it.) But the door doesn't disappear just because you closed it.
3. Check in with four parts of yourself: Body, mind, heart, soul. Each one needs something different right now. A hard workout. A good cry. Pizza with a friend. A poem. Asking separately what each part needs is a real practice — and it's something you can do today.
