Does Everything Happen For A Reason?

Conversations on Grief, Healing, and Resilience with Imogen Carn.

In this compelling debut episode of 'Big Stuff,' host Danielle welcomes her first guest, Imogen.

As a seasoned podcaster from the "Good Mourning" podcast and trauma informed breathwork facilitator, Imogen offers deep insight into her tumultuous journey through the harrowing experience of losing her mother to suicide.

Imogen shares her profound story of uncovering the 20-year abusive relationship her mother was trapped in.

We delve into grief, recovery, and the transformative power of forgiveness, and explore various healing modalities that have helped Imogen on her path, including somatic therapies and breathwork.

This episode also touches on the importance of addressing grief and death openly in a culture which often fears not only dying but also speaking about the dead.

Imogen shares poignant reflections on resilience, the choice to find meaning in suffering, and her ongoing mission to support others with their healing journeys.

You will gain insights on how to approach grief, making this episode a powerful resource for navigating the complexities of loss and healing.
