When things fall apart, we may need support accessing our inner knowing and inner compass to navigate the grief. Sara Avant Stover wrote Handbook for the Heartbroken: A Women’s Path from Devastation to Rebirth to help orient people experiencing a variety of forms of personal or collective heartbreak and support them in feeling a sense of validation and clarity. 

In this conversation, host Tracee Stanley and Sara discussed:

• Different types of heartbreak
• Intuition and reckoning with what we already know before our rational mind acknowledges it
• Bringing our true Self in relationship to the subconscious parts of ourselves created by upbringing and culture
• Collective heartbreak
• The necessity of processing grief in community
• The role of rest in healing from heartbreak
• Much more!
