This episode is about the healing stories that are all around us in life. When we are willing to have conversations that allow people to tell their stories we get a personal and intimate experience. Help me welcome Lauren Bittner to The Mission Possible Life Podcast. 

Lauren is a Grief Empowerment Coach who uses personal and professional experiences to help her client's be present with their grief. There are no typical stories here on this podcast because we each have a unique vantage point of our personal experiences. This episode shows what it means to understand your story through the pain of others. When all else seems uncontrollable there is one thing that cannot be taken from each and everyone of us, that is our response.

Grief is one aspect of life we cannot escape. How do we build a healthy relationship with the loss of someone important to us? How do we carry the memories of our loved ones in a manner that make life meaningful? How do we talk about the loss of someone? These questions are answered throughout this episode. 

When you are present with your pain, acknowledge something is off, and have a desire for a better tomorrow. You can begin to take the next right action that can help you understand your situation differently. 

Forgiveness is the solution. Knowing how to apply forgiveness is exactly what this episode is about. On this episode the host shares his relationship with forgiveness from a personal standpoint. Life can be difficult if we don't know how to let go of experiences that aren't ours to hold onto. You will learn how forgiveness gives us our power back as individuals and removes the burden of past transgressions. 

We don't control how others treat us, we do control our response to each and every situation we are a part of. Learning to forgive relieves future impacts of hatred, violence and separation. You will learn how to apply a process of forgiveness from the healing community of Alcoholics Anonymous.

On this episode the host discuss his understanding of what families go through while someone is incarcerated. Speaking from personal experience it is easy to believe that everyone who is in prison, got there because of where they live, how they were raised, or what they were shown. The host is here to show that this is not always true. Sure our environment and those that are in it can impact us negatively. The host shares how supportive his family has always been and what they may of felt while they had a loved one who was incarcerated. 

The Mission Possible Life Podcast focuses on the healing aspects of the pain and struggles we go through by being completely transparent. This episode is true to the idea behind the podcast. 

This is the first time I have openly spoken about my prison experiences with authenticity. I use to believe that leaving this part of myself was best for me. I have recently realized that I still have a lot to heal from regarding my time while incarcerated. This episode is a two part episode that shares my experiences of fear while navigating juvie, jail and prison. 

It has always been easier to be what you needed instead of staying true to myself. This episode is part of my healing and letting go of the idea that no one understands. This isn't a glorification story, this is my honesty on full display. I am comfortable in my own skin today. I share with you to let go of all the things that still hold me back.

Having to weigh the decision of a life of safety vs a life of chaos. To be so far into an addiction that the best choice you can make is to sign the rights of your first born child away. 

This woman has been a gift from the heaven's for me. We discuss the struggles that we faced in our relationship. Secrets hurt the ones we love. Learning to communicate honestly has been a lesson that has saved our marriage and allows us the space needed to feel seen and heard. 

50/50 isn't enough when you are trying to create a real relationships of authenticity. 50/50 means that I am only willing to step up to meet what I feel is needed. We use more our recovery and healing as a tool to help enrich a life we get to participate in together!
