In this heartfelt episode of Grieving Voices, I'm joined by the remarkable Kris Carr, a multiple New York Times bestselling author, wellness activist, and cancer thriver. Known as a force of nature and recognized as one of Oprah's Super Soul 100 influential thought leaders, Kris shares insights from her latest book "I'm Not a Morning Person," which delves into the raw emotions that surface when life falls apart unexpectedly.
Kris discusses navigating through loss and grief with humor and hope while providing readers with strategies to move forward. She opens up about her personal journey living with stage 4 cancer for over two decades and how it has shaped her approach to health advocacy.
The conversation touches on profound topics such as:
The unexpected grief journey sparked by the death of her father.
How old wounds resurfaced during this period.
The importance of emotional literacy in healing.
Tools she developed to manage anxiety related to ongoing cancer scans.
Her transition from trying to cure herself to focusing on healing.
Listeners will learn how Kris transformed fear into proactive selfcare measures that millions now embrace. She also emphasizes the power of naming our emotions as a step toward understanding them better.
Kris's story isn't just about survival; it's an inspiring testament to thriving amid adversity by harnessing love, acceptance, and resilience. Join us for an episode that promises deep reflection and practical wisdom for anyone grappling with their own grieving process or supporting others through theirs.
