Writing Memoir with Uma Girish

Those who have been through grief will readily relate to the story as will children who live far away from their old parents. The story is centred around the passing away of the author's Amma, her beloved mother.  Uma Girish is very good at her descriptions about things and people around her.  She knows how to maintain a charming, deft touch of humour to off set the tragic moments in her story. In this story, she deals with the guilt and other problems that beset her , as they would anyone who has lost a loved parent. She struggles with thoughts that may be they could have done more for her Amma, not just during her last days but indeed for all their lives.  She writes about how her father is forced to cope with his wife’s death. He has got accustomed to her being at his beck and call for the 47 years of their marriage. A very inspiring read in which -what in reality is a tragic topic- is handled with lots of grace and sensitivity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prem-rao9/message

Projector Wisdom with Uma Girish

"My definition of living a meaningful life is waking up every morning focused on what I'm here to create, how I can help somebody, and live my life on purpose.” -  Uma Girish -Losing someone or something that matters to us is very painful. We experience a storm of emotions that only we can understand. We heal and cope in different ways. You can try to hide your pain, deny or push your grief away but when you don’t face it head-on, it will rear its ugly head and find a way to come to you. We are all so busy chasing different things. Money, fame, luxuries and the finer things life brings that we often forget that we can’t take these things with us when we’re gone. Instead, we must focus on building our legacy by reflecting on what truly matters to us. In this episode, we invited Uma Girish to share with us her experiences and her transformational journey on how she overcame her loss and the lessons she learned on the importance of having the right relationship with grief. She also shares the period of the apprenticeship of her soul, different coping mechanisms, we talked about different types of grief, primary loss and secondary losses, understanding the pain of others, and finding the real meaning and purpose of your life. Remember that everyone’s journey is different. You’re allowed to mourn your loss in every way. It's okay to fall apart, you don't have to be so strong all the time. But don’t forget that there’s always sunshine after the storm. Time and acceptance can heal you and your soul.Click here for the full show notes.

Making Sense of Life & Serving Others Through Memoir with Uma Girish

This week on the podcast, I am joined by Uma Girish. Uma guides spiritually-minded women who are grieving from loss and helps them cope and hold space for grief. The work she does includes the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, illnesses, empty nest, the loss of a dream, and more.  On this episode, Uma and I talk about the importance of giving yourself space when you are grieving a loss, and how to give yourself that space when you teach yoga or own your own business. As a contractor or self-employed individual, it is so hard to take time off, but when we are grieving, we need to give ourselves time and space to heal.  Uma also shares tips for how we can hold space for students that might be grieving and more.  Enjoy! You know the saying, “People won’t remember what you said, but they’ll remember how you made them feel?” That’s true, both in our personal lives AND in our business lives. MINDBODY is a company that knows every customer interaction is a chance for your business to shine and for you to help your customers thrive. With that simple truth in mind, MINDBODY has spent nearly twenty years sweating the details of what it looks like to design and run an extraordinary fitness or wellness business.

This week on the podcast, I am joined by Uma Girish. Uma guides spiritually-minded women who are grieving from loss and helps them cope and hold space for grief. The work she does includes the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, illnesses, empty nest, the loss of a dream, and more.  On this episode, Uma and I talk about the importance of giving yourself space when you are grieving a loss, and how to give yourself that space when you teach yoga or own your own business. As a contractor or self-employed individual, it is so hard to take time off, but when we are grieving, we need to give ourselves time and space to heal.  Uma also shares tips for how we can hold space for students that might be grieving and more.  Enjoy! You know the saying, “People won’t remember what you said, but they’ll remember how you made them feel?” That’s true, both in our personal lives AND in our business lives.
