Podcast: When Small Talk Is No Small Matter

This podcast is exploring how even the most tiny of things can get shaken and require us to make new meaning in the aftermath of grief. Small talk becomes no small matter for some us having grief experiences, and so in this episode, we are exploring:

• Things, our faith, our work, even small talk, change after grief comes.
• So how do we re-imagine our social being?
• Small talk can feel like it is bombarding us, and we have less tolerance for it and other social experience.
• How do we get curious about this rather than judgmental about it?
• Addressing these realization can help us release shame also.
• What questions do we ask of ourselves to re-create our meanings and connections?
• How do we tend and take time to be our own best advocate AND reconnect with others?
• What does a different kind of small talk sound like - an example.
• These redefinitions are important because they get to the heart of the matter and this is where we have agency.
