Lauren Talks About How Her Mother’s Alzheimer’s Affected Her Life
<p>I think one of the character traits I admire most in another person is the ability to fully throw themselves into something they’re passionate about. I’m not just talking about the normal levels of fandom or interest either. I mean the people who find an interest and set out to understand it at the most mechanical level. You’ve met these people before - the ones who mention a new interest in cooking to you in passing and then a few months later they can cook a high-end, four-course meal. Or the person who gets interested in guitar and makes it their goal to be the next Jack White (some people would say Eric Clapton here and fair enough but I have a special place in my heart for the White Stripes). </p> <p><br></p> <p>There are a lot of reasons people do this. Curiosity is certainly a big driver but I don’t think that fully explains it. It’s more than curiosity - bordering perhaps on obsession. There are those among us who just want and need to know and I love that. I love reading about their passions, hearing about them, and talking about them. My guest this week has made an incredibly successful career out of learning and sharing - and I promise you that I’m not fully doing her work justice. I present to you one of the more interesting conversations that I’ve been fortunate enough to do and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>CW: this show does talk about death so please be mindful as you listen.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>Learn more about Lauren Kessler at her <a href="https://www.laurenkessler.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">website</a>.

Paige Connects Grieving Her Mother With Breakfast and Closure
<p>I’ve talked a lot about using grief to make, do or accomplish - and I really believe in that. I’ve talked with some incredible people who have channeled grief in to ways of helping others. I realized as I was talking to my guest this week though that there was something else that I haven’t really touched on…closure. </p> <p><br></p> <p>I think the idea of closure is complicated - it doesn’t feel as simple as just getting over something. It feels like something you have to be incredibly mindful about. Something you have to acknowledge and claim. It’s not a matter of moving on but more a matter of making peace.</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can learn about Paige at her <a href="https://www.paigeo.com/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">website</a>, on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paigeopnw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram </a>or listen to her podcast <a href="https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fadventures-of-a-hot-mess-doing-her-best%2Fid1667190703&e=AT2aNNzHLEAcmrlJQVTIZh3nEXJ6o3y01YgoJmxBaOsaxeiTIoKkwt6col5SlH360DC1VUvHlhErzMmoA92jq2-NzdNlgtpH5wVD3kU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a>.</p> <p> Visit us at <a href="https://linktr.ee/ourlastmealpod">Our Last Meal</a> or at ourlastmealpod@gmail.com; you can also find us at ourlastmealpod on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ourlastmealpod/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4FkwSh_tIXYwRIlnl3NaBg">YouTube </a>or <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ourlastmealpod?lang=en">TikTok</a>.
