Many of us struggle with grief, often avoiding the feelings and conversations it brings. We may feel there’s a “right” way to mourn, or criticize ourselves for not coping as we think we should. But what if we could simply accept that healing isn’t something to rush—it’s a process that unfolds in its own time?
In this heartfelt conversation, grief coach and Rapid Transformational Therapy practitioner Jas Bamra, share transformative tools for navigating life’s toughest challenges. Her journey into this work began after experiencing profound personal losses, including the passing of her father, grandmother, the breakdown of her marriage and career, and most recently, the loss of her daughter's father. In 2018, she discovered Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), a modality that profoundly shifted her life.
Whether you're confronting loss, societal pressures, or seeking clarity in your wellness journey, we hope this episode offers wisdom and hope. Your emotions matter, and healing is a journey—not a timeline. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
