Think of these mini podcasts like voice memos reaching out to you from a friend through the isolation. Except better, because they include tools for growing intimacy between yourself and those you care about. Note: podcasts come out Monday and each week there is an assignment for you to practice! Be sure to tune in, engage the practice and leave me a note about what you learned! Each assignment will build on the previous week‘s podcast. Dr. Jessica Tartaro (she/her) is a cis-gendered, able bodied, second generation Sicilian Jewish Intimacy Coach & Connection Facilitator who brings to her teaching nearly 20 years of experience in the healing arts. Through her one-of-a-kind workshops and coaching, Jessica powerfully weaves together the influences of Authentic Relating, positive psychology, psycho-education, trauma-sensitivity, mindful embodiment and conscious intimacy. Plus, she loves to play. Former Fulbright scholar, Jessica has founded communities across the country dedicated to healing the collective experience of belonging through group resilience, emotional intelligence and body wisdom. On the Olympic Peninsula of Washington where she lives and loves, Jessica is exploring the integration of racial justice with conscious relating and embodiment.

The bottom line about grief is that it’s better to feel it than resist it. Yet, most adults resist grief. With episode 18, I demystify the communal grieving process as well as make a connection between pleasure and grief that I bet you didn’t realize.
1:05 The beginning of my grief journey
1:43 My initial grieving experiences were private
2:31 I was scared of being seen in my grief.
4:08 What happened next changed my life.
4:40 One by one, people would burst open.
5:00 No one went to the altar alone.
5:36 I willed my feet to move and found myself in a row of grievers.
6:34 The force of the room’s commitment to grieving took me into its current.
7:38 In the company of others, I can let go of what I couldn’t release alone.
7:48 What does grief have to do with pleasure
8:42 Moving grief means you have more room for pleasure.
9:22 Grief is its own form of orgasm.
