In this mini-series episode, I revisit number five in the top ten most listened-to episodes: my double-episode conversation with James Fish Gill — heart coach, yoga teacher, and transformational facilitator from Australia — on bringing loving awareness to pain, grief, and longing.

Fish introduces the concept of conscious communication and applies it to grief: rather than dismissing, fixing, or minimising pain, what if we simply witnessed it — with honesty, with love, and without the need for it to be different? In Episodes 51 and 52, he walks through his own grief journey using this approach, moving through acknowledgement, emotional experience, and the field of yearning at the heart of loss.

This is one of the most tender and practically transformative conversations in the podcast’s history. Listen to both parts together.
