About
In this premiere episode of What’s Grief Got To Do With It?™ , Marica L. Floyd, MFT, Certified Grief Educator and Wellness Coach, challenges the traditional "stages" of grief that have left so many feeling stuck in a loop of survival mode rather than living fully. Drawing from over 25 years of experience as a therapist, Certified Grief Educator, and the founder of F.O.C.U.S.E.D. Coaching and Consulting, LLC, Marica shares her deeply personal "Why"—from the early loss of her grandmother to watching the world struggle to "cope" with loss without the awareness and mindset to truly evolve. In this episode, we explore: • The "Normal" Trap: Exploring the challenge of rejecting the normalcy of avoidance. • Coping vs. Adapting: Understanding the mechanical difference between just "getting by" and the process of Active Adaptation . • The Power of Attachment: How your internal narrative drives your behavior and your healing. • Types of Grief: Identifying the layers of loss that often go unrecognized in our daily lives. It is time to stop waiting for grief to "end" and start learning how to adapt to your new reality with intention and grace. Connect with Marica: • Website: F.O.C.U.S.E.D.
