Flashback: Finding The Light Again with Janelle Brunton-Rennie

About this episode

Janelle Brunton-Rennie shares her inspiring story of navigating grief and resilience after losing a partner.

This episode contains content that maybe distressing to some listeners Another week, another set of tech issues. So this week I've decided to do a little throwback to one of the very first episodes of Slow It Down This episode of Slow It Down is a little heavier than we usually go, but it's an important and inspiring story. Janelle Brunton-Rennie is one of the strongest people I know, and she speaks to me this week about navigating losing a partner and how important resilience is when we hit periods of grief in our life. Grief isn't openly discussed in western culture, and this episode shines a light on what it's like on the inside, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it. Janelle also has some amazing rituals that she has developed to find moments of bliss which she still uses today.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
