    How to Integrate Grief and Joy: Navigating Abrupt Life Transitions Intentionally with Suzanne Jabour

    Navigating the Landscape of Loss: Why Your Grief is Normal with Suzanne JabourHave you ever found yourself wide awake at 3:00 AM, replaying a major life transition and wondering how you are supposed to piece your identity back together? Grief is a chaotic, unpredictable monster that society frequently pushes us to hide away. In this raw and deeply necessary episode of Wide Awake and Wondering, host Kristin Mason sits down with Vancouver-based grief educator, coach, and speaker Suzanne Jabour. Together, they strip away the shiny platitudes and explore the gritty, complex reality of reconstructing a beautiful life around catastrophic loss.Dismantling the Traditional Grief HierarchyWe live in a culture that loves to judge and categorize pain. However, Suzanne explains that comparing losses fails to serve anyone. Whether you are navigating a capital-B "Big Grief" like the death of a loved one, or a small-g grief like a career shift, relocation, or relationship pivot—change brings loss, and loss requires mourning. Instead of tracking a rigid timeline, we need to examine how deeply an event disrupts a person’s daily framework.Embracing the Dual Process ModelOne of the most liberating tools discussed in this episode is the Dual Process Model of grieving. Rather than viewing healing as a linear progression through rigid stages, this model frames grief as a natural vacillation. One moment you are forward-thinking—focusing on strategy, family dynamics, and business goals—and the next moment, a wave hits and you are fully inside the heavy "soup" of sorrow. Suzanne shares how learning to honor this flow keeps your emotional baseline moving, preventing long-term stagnation and physical burnout.The Physical Reality of "Grief Brain"If you are struggling to focus at work, forgetting multi-step processes, or fighting severe insomnia, you aren't losing your mind—you are experiencing normal biological grief. Suzanne opens up about her personal battle with intense brain fog following the passing of her son, Ben, in 2020. She highlights the heavy $200 billion annual toll unaddressed workplace grief takes on the economy, urging entrepreneurs and corporate leaders to trade standard, rigid tracking systems for human-centric flexibility. Rebuilding intentionally means learning to tend to your emotions instead of boxing them away in the attic of your mind.Meet Our Guest: Suzanne Jabour Suzanne Jabour is a dedicated grief coach, consultant, author, and speaker based in Vancouver, Canada. After navigating the catastrophic loss of her son Ben in September 2020, Suzanne turned her deep personal journey into a global mission to shift workplace cultures and support individuals through intense transitions. She is a featured co-author of the book 20 Shades of Grief and has shared her powerful insights on the TEDx stage.Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:Connect with Suzanne: Visit SuzanneJabour.comFree Resources for Grievers: Access custom guideposts and chapter excerpts at SuzanneJabour.com/grieversSuzanne’s Book: Find 20 Shades of Grief on Amazon.Book Recommendation: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski.Learn More About Kristin: Explore financial and accountability coaching for business owners at CK Mason Consulting.Ready to Keep Wondering?

  • Consistency is a Lie: Why Routine-Flipping is Your Real Business Superpower with Barb Hubbard

    Consistency is a Lie: Why Routine-Flipping is Your Real Business Superpower with Barb Hubbard

    Embracing Spontaneous Structure: ADHD, Shame-Free Productivity, and Chasing Dreams with Barb Hubbard

    Does your brain flatly refuse to hit the pause button at night? Are you constantly hunting for the perfect time management framework, only to watch it fail your neurodivergent brain weeks later? In this episode of Wide Awake and Wondering, host Kristin Mason sits down with San Diego-based ADHD coach and author Barb Hubbard to dismantle the rigid mainstream expectations surrounding business operations and establish realistic, shame-free frameworks for modern visionaries.

    Barb spent years as a special educator before launching her independent coaching practice eight years ago. Today, she works directly at the intersection of structure and creative chaos, mapping out intentional solopreneur environments that leverage neurodivergent traits as genuine professional strengths.

    The Myth of Consistency: Embracing Sporadic Productivity

    For years, business gurus have claimed that identical, daily routines are the primary gateway to elite success. Barb completely rejects this premise for the ADHD community. Because neurodivergent brains intrinsically demand novelty, any singular organization or tracking tool is bound to eventually lose its dopamine-inducing luster. Barb encourages solopreneurs to accept their natural ebb and flow, giving themselves permission to pivot between different paper planners, digital software, and morning workflows without spiraling into negative self-talk or guilt.

    Building Your Evidence List: Flipping the Negativity Bias

    When tasks fall to the wayside, the instinct for high achievers is often to hide behind a mask of hyper-vigilant busyness or harsh internal discipline. Barb shares how to shift out of judgment and step into scientific curiosity. She introduces the concept of the "evidence list"—a tangible record of wins designed to counter our evolutionary negativity bias. By expanding our definition of success to celebrate micro-wins, like spending 10 minutes researching a project or typing a single email response, business owners can intentionally rebuild their confidence and find the motivation necessary to restart.

  • Is It True, Real, or Yours? Overcoming the Midnight Mindset Blocks Holding Back Your Business

    Is It True, Real, or Yours? Overcoming the Midnight Mindset Blocks Holding Back Your Business

    Why 2 AM Anxiety Is Important To Your Business Strategy

    We are officially at the mid-season mark of Wide Awake and Wondering! In this special solo episode, host Kristin Mason hits pause on the usual guest interviews to step out from behind the spreadsheets and into the quiet hours of the entrepreneurial mind.

    If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the ceiling at 2 AM wondering if your business is sustainable, if you are doing enough, or if it’s all going to fall apart tomorrow—this episode is your permission slip to take a deep breath. Kristin dives into why the math is rarely the actual problem in business, how to identify the "monsters under the bed," and the exact psychological framework she uses to help entrepreneurs move out of panic and into a state of wealthy abundance.

    The 3-Question Mindset Framework

    Whenever midnight anxiety or heavy negative self-talk begins to swirl, halt the spiral by immediately asking yourself these three grounding questions:

    1. Is it true? (Look at the objective facts, not the emotional projection.)
    2. Is it real? (Is this happening right now, or is it a hypothetical future narrative?)
    3. Is it yours? (Are you carrying your own truth, or absorbing the external noise and expectations of others?)
