036. 6 Game-changing Things I Learned in 2023
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
Thursday Dec 28, 2023
To wrap up 2023 and welcome 2024, I wanted to share six game-changer-level things I’ve learned this year. But this isn't necessarily about me and MY learnings and how they’ve affected only me, these are things that I thought about carefully that I truly feel can apply to you as well. Because I had YOU in mind as I was doing this self-reflection and creating this episode today!Your gain from this episode is to sit back, relax, and dive into these six mindset shifts and realizations. My hope today is that these might resonate with you and inspire you going into the following year. And, if nothing else, just be something for you to walk away and think about.I also want to mention that this episode isn’t all grief-related. This is truly an overarching, all-encompassing grief AND "life after loss" sort of deal. We’ll get into some griefy things here, but I also really wanted this conversation to be a little bigger and empowering for our everyday well-being. A little more in-depth so you can really apply this to whatever is going on in your life right now.Explore my Intentional Life After Loss membership! https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipConnect with me further: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains/ Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

035. 7 Ways to Visualize Your Best, Most Abundant Life
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
As we’re nearing the end of this year, I wanted to begin leaving you with some inspiration and things to noodle on as we close out 2023 and say a big hello to 2024.
One way I love to do this, whether entering a new year or not, is to do some visualization. Visualization is an amazing thing to do whether or not you’re grieving, let’s be real!
But I find that, with grievers especially, we can be so lacking in hope, a way forward, direction, and any semblance of a good, full life after what we’ve been through. Loss and adversity have a nasty way of stripping that from us.
But not to fear! I assure you—and I know this not only from my own experience, but those whom I’ve coached—visualization exercises, prompts, and meditations are super powerful and very empowering as well. They can leave us feeling a semblance of hope and optimism, and perhaps even some excitement, when we feel like we have little left in us.
With that, I’m sharing 7 ways to practice visualizing your best life after loss! What we'll chat about in this episode is perfect for going into a new season of life or year, or can be done on any ol’ day. Zero pressure here, that’s the beauty of it.

034. Family Loss and Navigating Grief with Shea Wingate
Thursday Dec 14, 2023
Thursday Dec 14, 2023
Shea Wingate is a Licensed Therapist & Grief Coach, and has actually graced the airwaves of the LBG Podcast before way back in episode 10!
There we talked all about grief and relationships, specifically. But today, we’re really getting to know her backstory because I think so many facets of it are things you may be able to relate to, or see parts of your own grief in.
Shea lost her mom, dad, AND sister all within about two years.
And, with both of us having lost parents and trying to navigate that, she and I had a LOT to talk about here. What that looked and felt like, and how it affected us in so many aspects of our lives. I think you’ll find so much value in this conversation today, from "yes, I can relate to that!" moments to discovering best practices to cope, and more.
Shea truly has SO much knowledge when it comes to grief and how to cope on a day-to-day basis, you will not want to miss this one—especially if you are or have endured multiple losses back to back and are just trying to find your footing and figure out how to manage it all.

033. Reflections & Realizations: 4 Years Without My Mom
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Thursday Dec 07, 2023
Today I’m here with a very raw and honest solo episode as a reflection—and sharing realizations I've had over time—of four years without my mom, Lori Jordan. This episode is releasing a couple of days before my mom actually died, but four years ago on December 9th, my mom died due to her difficult and, frankly, brutal and graphic journey with esophageal cancer.Your gain today is to get to know my mom a little better here and there, but really to just have a very real conversation about the pain around losing a mother or mother figure and what this actually looks like over a little bit of time.And, finally, to share some things that have been on my heart lately with navigating life without her in hopes that you or someone you know can resonate with this today. If you do know someone who might benefit from this episode, I would love for you to share it! Especially being pregnant as I am currently, this year is hitting a little harder than usual.But honestly, whether or not you’ve lost a mother specifically, I have no doubt some of the things I’ll say or get into in this episode will be really relatable for you in so many ways. I think these milestones (albeit sad ones) are important to acknowledge and reflect back on. If this can help anyone else out there today, or help you feel less alone, that’s my goal.Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipConnect with me further!

032. Rediscovering Life and Our Soul After Loss with Claire McDonald
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
Thursday Nov 30, 2023
This episode is truly such a full-circle moment for me, because I had the pleasure of chatting with Claire McDonald. She is actually a childhood friend (since first grade!) of mine from the East Coast, back when we lived in Pennsylvania. But there’s a very specific reason I wanted to have her join me on the podcast.
First, she’s the creator of SoulSpheres, which are STUNNING necklaces that weigh 21 grams to represent the weight of the soul. These pieces remind us that, as beings, our experience here goes beyond our physical body which is such an important and beautiful reminder.
Moreover, she also shares her story of coping with anxiety throughout her 20s which resulted in a life-changing event that happened to her that, to use her words, “broke her open”—I had absolute chills when I heard that phrase! We're talking about what it means to rediscover yourself and your soul after loss and a traumatic experience. Whether that’s the loss of a person, a loss of sense of self, identity, and more.TRIGGER WARNING: Part of Clarie’s story involves some drug use, and there’s mention of overdosing and being in the hospital as a result. If this is at all a difficult topic for you, please feel free to come back to this episode at a later time or skip over that part. The mention of this drug use begins at the 19-minute mark of this episode.

031. How to Cope with the Coulda, Woulda, Shouldas of Grief
Wednesday Nov 22, 2023
Wednesday Nov 22, 2023
I’ve heard all kinds of woulda, coulda, shouldas in the grief space, and I've definitely experienced some of these firsthand, too! In a way, whether we realize it or not, we want to believe we have control over death or the past. That it wouldn’t have happened if were adequately prepared or more vigilant.But, death happens, right? While guilt is very valid, guilt can also be a distraction. Guilt can fill our heads with noise that keeps the worst of our pain at bay and almost keeps us busy, in a way.For argument's sake... maybe we woulda. Maybe we coulda. Maybe we even shoulda! But the thing is? We didn’t. A lifetime of self-loathing and misery won’t change that. So, how do we cope with this? Your gain from this episode is to learn how to cope with those feelings of things we coulda, woulda, or shoulda done or said in our grief.Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membershipConnect with me further!

Sharna talks about her beautiful rainbow baby and how the trauma of her first loss impacted her pregnancy with her daughter in some ways, and it was so eye-opening.
We talk about what “healing” from something like this really looks and feels like, how we can approach this.
We chat about some useful coping tools and some positive mindset shifts with some AMAZING higher brain thinking that will no doubt leave you feeling more uplifted.
Learn how to better support and acknowledge those who have been through this type of loss.

029. Navigating Pregnancy, Infant, and Child Loss with Sharna Southan, Part 1
Thursday Nov 09, 2023
Thursday Nov 09, 2023
I’m so excited to share this extremely special guest, dear friend, and calming soul on the podcast today. Sharna Southan is a Pregnancy loss Practitioner & certified Trauma-informed Coach. She’s mom to her rainbow baby, a business owner, and wife based in Australia.
Following her heart and soul into business after her own Pregnancy loss in 2017, like me, Sharna believes that our adversity gives us an opportunity to grow. She founded The Institute of Healing through Pregnancy Loss to support parents of loss by creating her transformative Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method, AND teaching her Signature Pregnancy Loss Practitioner™️ Certification Program.
She’s also a fellow podcaster where she sheds light on pregnancy loss, healing, and recovery. Here on the LBG Podcast, we haven’t fully addressed pregnancy, infant, and child loss yet in such an intentional way. So, that’s what we’re doing in today’s episode!
I thought this was not only opportune timing being pregnant myself and wanting to use this as an opportunity to educate myself, but since this episode is launching right before the holidays, I wanted to make sure we have this conversation now so we can best support those who have seen this kind of loss and might be struggling this season.
But trust me, we get into WAY more here and some absolutely beautiful mindset shifts that I know you won’t want to miss. So much so that we literally talked for over two hours... and I had to split this into two episodes!
Episode 29 is part one, and here we dig into her truly heartbreaking story, how this grief can affect our relationships, the loss of her father on top of all of this, how she has continued to cope with this over the years, and more. Stay tuned for next week’s episode where we get into even more about this topic, coping tools, and some impactful ways to think about and handle our grief that you are NO doubt going to want to hear!

028. How To Live Fully, Happily, and Intentionally After Loss
Thursday Nov 02, 2023
Thursday Nov 02, 2023
We're talking all about how to live fully, happily, and intentionally after experiencing a loss or death of a loved one. I wanted to share some thoughts on what living fully and intentionally after a loss means today, as it has been on my mind a lot lately.
So, we’re getting right into it here! How do we do this in a full, happy, intentional, beautiful way that honors both ourselves and those we’ve lost? And, moreover, not just how to do this but why it’s so important!
Especially coming up on holidays, what better time to really sit and think about this? To ponder how we want to end this year, process everything that has happened to us this year perhaps, and look ahead to next year.
Or, maybe you don’t feel ready for any of that and just want the holidays to be over. I feel that, too! Just hear me out on this today and stick with me, because this is an insanely important mindset shift that I know will help you along your journey.
But before we dig into how to live this full, vibrant life after loss, I think an important thing to address here is how we as humans process grief. Because to be able to even see and live this amazing life we have ahead of us, we have to comprehend what we’ve been through a little bit!
Your gain from this episode is to understand some fundamentals of grief and why it’s such a complex thing to wrap our heads around when we lose someone. We’ll then talk about how exactly we can put this into practice and move forward as fully, happily, and intentionally as possible.

027. How to Embrace the Holiday Season After a Loss
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Today I have a (hopefully) very timely episode for you as we approach the holiday season… we’re talking all about how to embrace the holidays after a loss. Might feel kind of impossible or a big ask, right? Something you maybe don’t even want to consider or going there with right now.But the truth is, the holidays won’t stop for us and our grief. The holidays—or really any special day that reminds you of something or someone you’ve lost (i.e. a birthday, anniversary, etc.)—can be one of the hardest times in your time of grief. It’s a looming reminder of what you don’t have. It can put a strain on your psyche and mood, relationships, pressure on your financial situation, and downright take the fun right out of a special time of year.You may be feeling added stress, anxiety, despair, loneliness or emptiness, or lack of excitement. I want you to know, I’ve been where you are. I still am, most holidays. Simply put, it can be an extraordinarily taxing time both physically and emotionally.Whatever the cause of your grief, there are healthy ways to cope with the pain of loss. These healthier coping strategies can help you come to terms with your loss by finding new, deeper meaning and gratitude in the little things. So, your GAIN from this episode today is to not only dig into why the holidays are so difficult (which might seem obvious, but I have some important insights for you here!), and learn tools to embrace the holidays after a loss and how to cope with the holiday season.Discover the Intentional Life After Loss Membership + Community! https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Links referenced in this episode: Free Tools: https://lossesbecomegains.com/free-tools Self-Care & Wellness blog posts: https://lossesbecomegains.com/category/self-care-and-wellness/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lossesbecomegains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

026. 10 Ways to Set Boundaries In Your Grief
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
Thursday Oct 19, 2023
Setting boundaries has become more and more critical in our fast-paced, highly interconnected world. Whether it's in our personal or professional lives, establishing healthy limits helps us protect our mental and emotional well-being. When could that be more important than when we’re emotionally taxed with grief after a loss, right?Let me remind you: boundaries are not selfish. Boundaries are a form of self-care! They ensure that we respect ourselves and others while maintaining our sanity and happiness (or some semblance of this, whatever we can find in grief… amitire?). Your gain from this episode today is to learn why setting boundaries after a loss is so critical to a successful healing journey, and learn some of my best practices and recommendations for doing this.Don't miss the Intentional Life After Loss Membership + Community! https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Links referenced in this episode: Free Tools: https://lossesbecomegains.com/free-tools Coping with Unmet Expectations: https://lossesbecomegains.com/coping-with-unmet-expectations/Self-Care & Wellness blog posts: https://lossesbecomegains.com/category/self-care-and-wellness/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lossesbecomegains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

025: Navigating Grief and Life Courageously with Tina Hoang
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Today we have truly one of the sweetest souls I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with on the podcast so far! Tina Hoang is a recovering people pleaser, podcaster, and inner child healer. She strives to ensure that women have the space to choose themselves and share their courageous stories.Whether it’s changing how you are perceived within a family dynamic, leaving a comfortable 9-5, advocating for yourself when someone is being rude, and beyond. She empowers others to dive within themselves to heal their inner child, and play more often as adults! Who doesn't need that, right? When it comes to her grief, after losing her very first sweet dog and multiple people around her, she has learned not to fear death and so much more about what navigating death, grief, and loss entails. Her story is not only heart-wrenching (tears were shed in this episode, guys), but it’s incredibly motivating and eye-opening. There is probably SO much you’ll be able to relate to here, and I know this episode will kick your mindset into an entirely new and very uplifted gear if you’re struggling to find the joy in life again.

After losing both of my parents to cancer within six months and my fur baby months later, there came a point in my journey of loss where I just knew all of this loss just couldn't be for nothing... it’s pretty simple, really. But getting to this point? Not so easy.
Eventually, I felt called to help people cope and get through their grief, too. I feel your pain, I see you, and I want to provide tools to help. After some time, I knew I had to take some action. Enter—Losses Become Gains.
The name Losses Become Gains came about because I knew, deep down somewhere, I knew there had to be more. A founding principle of LBG is to make this process as human to human as possible, because it's a very human thing to experience loss. This podcast felt like the next natural step.
We're all about learning, growing, and evolving. It’s about understanding our loss, our grief, how this has and will continue to affect us, and taking baby steps to move onward and upward from here. Is it minimizing or moving far away from who or what we’ve lost? Not at all. Really, it’s just comprehending how to find some semblance of peace and a level of acceptance with our losses. It’s how to turn these losses into gains, you feel me?
