“When I find presence, that is when intuition can come in.” We don’t only experience grief after the death of a loved one. We also experience grief when our plans are forced to change. Late last year, Phoebe Mroczek was hit by a car in downtown Austin. After choosing the path of positivity to empower her healing, Phoebe was able to explore an even deeper path of self-discovery and self-love. Through the power of presence and by asking a new set of questions, Phoebe learned to refind her center amongst the chaos. By creating space for pauses and presence, Phoebe was able to embrace a journey of unbecoming as she journeyed back to her truth. In this heart-warming episode, Phoebe and I explore the magic that can open up after life knocks you down.

“Our grief is sacred and it’s a rite of passage.” 2020 has forced us all to explore our relationship with grief. At some level, we’re all grieving - for unexplored plans, for the old way of living, and for loved ones who are no longer with us. You may know I lost my grandmother and aunt recently to COVID-19. As my family moves through our grief, I’m experiencing the pain and beauty of dancing with a rich spectrum of emotions. At times, I’m overwhelmed with pain, hurt, and confusion. Then without warning, my emotions flip to deep gratitude for the memories and the opportunity to deepen the connection I feel with my family. Turns out there is no playbook for grief. Instead, death is a rite of passage and grief is a personal process that we will all experience at some point during our lives. So to help break down the taboos and myths around grief, I wanted to bring Death Doula, Jessica Reis onto the show. “There’s no right way to grieve.” Jessica is an incredible human who’s doing incredible work. She specializes in Grief, Loss, Shadow work and Death Guidance, and nourishes with love, guidance and support while helping people to navigate the loss of a loved one. In this powerful conversation, Jessica and I explore. Why do we struggle to navigate grief? How do you dance through grief so you can feel the full spectrum of emotions? The importance of meeting a grieving person where they are. How you can change the story about grief to make it a more beautiful experience Why grief is sacred and a rite of passage. How the presence of death can become life-affirming. Death-nesting and the power of supporting someone to move into the portal of death. How I connected energetically with my grandmother in the last moments of her life. The power of moving through grief with ceremonies. Why inauthenticity repels. And more…Whether you’re grieving for a loved one or the loss of your pre-COVID plans and dreams, this beautiful conversation will help you dance with your emotions - wherever they want to take you.  “It’s not about feeling better, it’s about understanding the rhythm and the timing of your grief.” How to contact Jessicawww.deathempath.comhttps://www.instagram.com/deathempathWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“Vulnerability is just sharing whatever emotion is in you.” One of the reasons 2020 has been so unsettling is because safety is a basic human need. When certainty is stripped away, fear bubbles up - causing us to feel as though the world is unsafe. But despite the chaos, there’s an opportunity to be found in the current climate. When the outside world shifts, we have no option but to dive within. In the process, we can cultivate emotional resilience and tap into a more reliable form of safety… the safety that comes from feeling certain inside your own emotions and your own body. So if you’re craving a sense of peace in this ‘unsafe’ world, this you’ll want to hear what this week’s incredible guest - Elisabeth Cardiello - has to share. “I like to think of empathy as opening this ocean of space so that you can meet the emotion.” Elisabeth Cardiello is the founder of a coffee company called Caffè Unimatic. Created by her father in the 1950s, the Unimatic drip-percolator became a symbol of Elisabeth’s childhood and hours of coffee-fuelled conversations. It was while sorting through her dad’s affairs after his unexpected death that the Unimatic took center stage in Elisabeth’s life again. Safely stored in the office’s storeroom, Elisabeth discovered a collection of 5,000 Unimatics manufactured by her dad in the 1960s - and Caffè Unimatic was born.Then more dots began to connect…As a child, Elisabeth was obsessed with asking better questions. As an adult, she’d deconstructed conversation and understood the importance of listening. Combined, this fueled her desire to use coffee to start the conversations that will harmonize our world - and the BRAVE Framework was born. BRAVE Conversations Over Coffee® is a platform designed to help companies, families, and teams communicate in a way that inspires vulnerability, empathy, courage, and acceptance. Elisabeth’s work has taken her to speak at UN Conferences. She’s given Congressional briefings, two TEDx Talks, and multiple keynotes, as well as been featured by the likes of Forbes, NBC, and Goop. What’s more, her life story is currently part of a Netflix documentary about how coffee connects humanity.In this beautiful conversation, Elisabeth shares how her coffee became a trigger for creating emotional resilience and unlocking the bravery we all need to thrive. Here’s a taste of the topics we explore. Methods for creating more safety in yourself.How rituals help you find deeper levels of resilience. The powerful ways that community helps you move forward.How Elisabeth’s dad inspired her business and her life’s work. Secrets for communicating compassion through your eyes. Strategies for using the ritual of coffee to start conversations that can harmonize the world. Elisabeth’s five-step BRAVE framework for vulnerable, authentic conversations. How to create and hold compassionate spaces for others to step into and thrive. And more…Elisabeth is an incredible human doing amazing work - especially given the times we’re in. I’m so excited for you to experience her presence in this powerful conversation.  “For me, coffee is the opportunity to take a step forward every day.” How to contact caffeunimatic.com / braveconversationsovercoffee.comhttps://www.instagram.com/caffeunimatichttps://www.twitter.com/caffeunimaticFacebook: caffeunimaticWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“As men, we are so hell-bent on protecting our masculinity because - this runs to the root of an identity - if you’re not a man, then you’re weak, you’re ostracized, you’re not valued. And then, you’re on your own. You’re left to kind of perish. This runs so deeply inside of us that we don’t recognize the game that we’re playing, which is “protect my man card.”You may have noticed a recent trend where people are talking about the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, and what it means to be a man. These confronting conversations are forcing us to look more closely at masculine and feminine dynamics and the healthy role that each plays in establishing harmonious societies. As a result, there are a growing number of men who are willing to explore the journey required to step into healthier versions of manhood. As my brother Dominick Quartuccio explains, there are a lot of little boys running around in the bodies of men! The reason? Conventional schooling and society don’t prioritize teaching the transition into healthy masculinity. But if we’re willing to lean into our vulnerability and listen to our heart’s whispers, not only will we experience profound healing BUT we have an opportunity to unleash the true power of our divine masculine into the world. “The number one fear, like subconscious fear, that is controlling men’s lives that they don’t know about, is this fear of emasculation.” In this powerful conversation, Dominick and I explore what healthy masculinity looks like. We also explore the challenges men face while protecting their ‘man card’. And as you’ll hear, cultivating the confidence to listen to your heart in the midst of all the noise is a powerful way to transform your life - especially during 2020. Dominick is a leader in the field of healthy masculinity and a man who walks his talk. His commitment to do the inner work always blows me away. As a coach, author, and advocate, Dominick helps men discover and live the Great Man Within. He co-hosts The Great Man Within podcast, and runs DoInnerWork.com. He also leads The Great Man Mastermind, a community of high caliber and high character men living their greatest purpose and optimizing their performance in everything they do. Here’s a taste of what we discuss in this incredible conversation: What is a healthy definition of masculinity? Why are there so many little boys living in men’s bodies. How to navigate the death of an identity as a season in your life ends.The power of initiations and the rite of passage ceremonies. How to ask for help without losing your man card.How can men hold space to be friends with a woman?The healing power of being vulnerable with other menHow to be vulnerable with yourself. With plenty to think about and takeaway for both men and women, this episode is the perfect way to explore the healing effect of cultivating healthy masculine energy in your life.  “You have to find that one person, that first person that you could really open up to and confide in and then you’ll find, over the course of time, that it’s a lot easier to open up to other people, too.” How to contact Check out The Great Man Within Podcastwww.DoInnerWork.com/resourceshttps://www.dominickq.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGreatManWithinhttps://www.instagram.com/dominickq/https://www.instagram.com/dominickq/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“I had all of the things and yet, I was at this point where I didn't want to live.” I believe this is one of the most important episodes of Stay Grounded I’ve ever recorded. Suicide is a big killer among men my age and there’s a common thread - we don’t know how to talk about depression or feelings of isolation, or how to ask for help and support during dark times. When I first met Chris Plough, I was deeply moved by his depth of empathy, care, and sensitivity. This is a man who’s experienced suicide from both sides. Not only has he been close to taking his own life - the first time at age just 16 - but he lost both his parents in a homicide-suicide. In this vulnerable conversation, Chris shares the emotions involved and what it actually feels like to have suicidal tendencies. He also explains the tangible steps we can all take to help someone transform their suicidal thoughts into something beautiful.   “Empathetic witness is just being able to be present with somebody and allow them to share what they're going through and care without judgment.” Suicide is a taboo, and it shouldn’t be. Fortunately, Chris found support from an empathetic friend, which helped to kick-start a journey of compassion and unconditional self-love. Now we can all learn from his experiences - so we’re better positioned to support people who need it… because no one is alone. In this beautiful episode, Chris and I explore: What is self-love? The role of patience in your self-love journey. The story of the list and how it can prevent suicide attempts. How to be an empathetic listener. The three isolation creators.How to share suicidal thoughts to help a listener receive them. The difference between conditional and unconditional love.How best to respond if you can’t be an empathetic listener when someone asks.Using self-care to honor yourself and avoid dark places. How to dismantle the cages we put ourselves in. What your vulnerability can invite in others.  And more…Chris is on a mission to ‘Liberate Humanity’. He’s doing this through his work at AdventureX where he creates experiences that provide space and freedom for people. He’s also a sought-after speaker who makes space to be an empathetic witness for people who need it. “When you're feeling those things in that darkness - shame, guilt, not wanting to burden others - those create this isolation that makes you believe you're actually alone.” How to contact Check out Chris’ work at https://chrisplough.comExplore Chris’ role as an empathetic witness - chrisplough.com/I-am-listeningWe thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“We stay in the fast lane so that we don't have to feel our deal.” Current times have forced a new pace of life upon so many of us. There’s an invitation to slow down, take stock, and reassess what’s most important. There’s a window to be more intentional and practice the grounding ritual that connects us back to our true essence.Sure, these times are challenging - especially for those of us who are used to speed and hustle, but the pause can also be healing. Slowing down provides an opportunity to sit with the emotions and feelings hidden by the ‘go-go-go’ lifestyle. In turn, we have a chance to shift from DOing to BEing - and in the process, we get clearer on our own wants, needs, and desires. This episode’s guest - the incredible Nancy Levin - is here to help you navigate that transition with ease and grace.
