what's up griefsense familia? Come chill with me and motivational speaker, mental health advocate, combat sports athlete, and mindset and performance coach Na Eun "Jiggy" Yoon as we explore the deep connections between grief, identity, and resilience. Today, Jiggy opens up about her role as a leading voice in the LGBTQ+ community and the youth mental health space, sharing insights from her personal healing and grieving journey.
Throughout the episode, Jiggy opens up about the painful loss of both her parents and how this profound grief influenced her life's path and her advocacy for youth mental health. We dive deep into the misconceptions surrounding hustle culture, emphasizing that true resilience often requires stepping back to embrace rest and self-compassion.
The conversation also touches on #griefsense—a nuanced awareness born from deep loss, which can transform our appreciation for life. We also reflect on the power of 'glimmers,' those small yet impactful moments of positivity that can light up our day. Have you heard of glimmers before? How does this show up in your life?
Tune in to hear how Jiggy navigates the complexities of loss and identity, finding peace and purpose in authenticity and the legacy left behind by her parents.
