Think grief is something you just "get over" with time? Phil Cohen is about to flip everything you know about healing upside down.

Phil has helped thousands navigate their darkest moments after losing his 14-year-old son in a tragic boating accident 10 years ago. But here's what shocked us most: he argues that avoiding grief actually imprisons you, while facing it head-on sets you free.

In this deeply moving conversation, Phil breaks down why our grief-illiterate society keeps people stuck in suffering, how your body is literally tricking you into staying paralyzed, and why the famous "five stages of grief" are actually harmful to your healing process.

The Grief Revolution:

• Why avoiding pain actually creates more suffering in the long run
• How your survival instincts are secretly keeping you trapped
• The choice between being consumed by grief or becoming a student of it

The Healing Science:

• Three proven ways to instantly change your emotional state
• Why movement and sunlight are medicine for your grieving brain
• How focusing on beautiful memories can transform your pain

The Cultural Problem:

• Why our "culture of silence" around death is making everything worse
• How other cultures handle grief more effectively (Jewish Shiva traditions)
• Why we desperately need to start talking about loss openly

💡 Key Insights Revealed:

1. The Choice Point: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional
2. The Guilt Trap: 99.9% of people blame themselves unnecessarily
3. The Action Cure: Movement and attention heal what time alone cannot
4. The Focus Formula: What you focus on, you feel - choose your memories wisely
5. The Service Secret: Helping others with similar pain accelerates your own healing
