Growing In Love Together

Life in the military wasn’t easy. I worked different schedules and traveled to different places for deployments and trainings. The Military life put a strain on me and made it difficult to be the mom I desperately wanted to be. My one goal was to make sure the relationship with my daughter was much better than the one my mom and I had. I left the military to make my goal happen and boy was I in for an unexpected ride. This is the story behind my Facebook posts and Instagram pictures. You are not alone. Since leaving the military for my daughter I have gained a son and my lovely man. We are now on this journey together.Let’s remove the U in guilt and Grow in Love Together.

Grief: Losing My Mom

January 06, 2021 • Charise Freeman, Kim Hanlon • Season 2 • Episode 5

I'm not gonna lie, when Kim Hanlon inquired about being a guest on this podcast, I was not sure if talking about grief would be a good fit for you all. When I tell you that this lovely lady is doing something amazing, I mean it!

The episode is centered around grieving the loss of my mom. It seems crazy because she is actually alive but, I really learned that because she isn't around there were parts of our relationship that I needed to grieve.

This episode is simply a conversation between Kim and I where we talk about dealing with grief that isn't necessarily a death. This was truly an eye opener to me about where my heart is and how I can continue to heal past these things that I have not really faced head on.

Kim Hanlon is a Health Educator and advanced certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist. Her partner, Ilana, and she cofounded Yahdav and Hanlon, providing both individual and corporate grief support. They know that grief and loss can inhibit how one engages in their life’s work and relationships. Their transformative tools and programs provide powerfully healing grief support within a warm, safe, calm environment to help clients gain closure, and regain life energy and creativity.

I am certainly still in the giving mood and want to extend the gift of a 50-minute Growing In Love Session.

The session would be you, and me taking an in depth look at your love languages and going over your current desires. We will discuss what’s not working and create a clear, actionable plan that you can put in place to help you get where you want to go. Not just in your relationship with your partner but friendships, and relationships with your family too.

Remember, remove the "U" in guilt and Grow In Love Together,
