PODCAST: How to Process Emotions in the Face of Loss (the goop Podcast with Gwyneth Paltrow and Cleo Wade)

NOTE FROM ABBIE: I was originally scheduled to speak on goop about “Creating a Life You Like” but that felt inappropriate given the state of events in my community in the Pacific Palisades. So, from my family’s evacuated airbnb, I invited grief expert, therapist, and author, Claire Bidwell Smith to join me to discuss grief and loss. We recorded this at the home studio of my friend, author and podcaster, Laura Tremaine who was on evacuation watch. She then edited this special episode. I felt so incredibly supported by these wise, wonderful women, including Gwyneth Paltrow who invited me to be on her global platform.

I hope this podcast brings comfort and validation to all who are suffering with loss and grief.
