EP7: Breaching Grief

Benjamin Season 1 Episode 7

In light of recent triggering events in Afghanistan and around the world. I thought it a good time to talk with my dear friend Jamie Boshears. Jamie is a certified Grief Counselor and Bereavement Specialist. In the episode we talk about how life and grief are seldom, if ever, a straight line and how one can find ways to break through grief and find new opportunities and life on the other side.
