A No BS Approach to Grief, Healing, and the Red Folder Project with Kari Driskell
Description
Angela welcomes grief and widow coach Kari Driskell, who was widowed at 38 with two young daughters, and discusses a direct, “no BS” approach to grief. Kari shares how platitudes and toxic positivity felt invalidating, why she believes there’s a difference between lifelong grief and “actively grieving,” and how healing can restore a fuller sense of aliveness rather than capping life at a reduced “new 100%.” She recounts her husband Eric’s sudden death from a massive brain aneurysm in 2017, the difficult aftermath of parenting through loss, and how she sought tools, experts, and community to rebuild her life without “letting go” of her person. Kari also explains her Red Folder Project—an “in case I die” folder covering key plans, contacts, wishes, and documents—and encourages listeners to take what serves them and leave the rest.
