The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast
Maureen Kafkis is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ coach, and the host of The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast. When she learned that the average human brain has over 60,000 thoughts a day and that most of them are lies (Brain BS™) that cause needless suffering, she started to learn how to separate the fact from fiction in her mind and has never looked back. Maureen truly believes that living consciously, understanding how your brains work, and learning to feel your feelings are necessary for an empowering and fulfilling life. She brings her expertise and extensive knowledge to inspire people in the SB area and beyond to learn how to live consciously, tap into their personal power and become leaders in their community.
In a world where there is so much division and way too much focus on competition, the Brain BS™ Coach is promoting a conscious community and lifestyle built on leadership energy, collaboration, and mutual support. She is doing that because the power of the collective far exceeds anything that can be done at the individual level and it’s just way more fun! If we all consciously collaborate with one another and succeed together we can have a substantial ripple effect that will extend far beyond our local community. Listen and learn how you can add value to your own community!

141) Talking Grief with Maria Malin
In this episode I speak with author and certified grief coach, Maria Malin, about her grief journey around the tragic and unexpected loss of her son Steven back in 2003. She wrote about her loss in her book "When You Just Can't Say Good-bye, Don't": A Mother's Personal Journey After Losing a Child. The proceeds from the book go toward an annual Steven Malin Jr. Memorial Scholarship that was established in her sons name and awarded to a graduating senior for honoring good character.

Maria had no idea that when she handed Steven 10$ to go get chicken nuggets at Mc Donalds that it would be the last time she saw him alive. She shares how she has navigated the biggest and most daunting challenge of her life in an intuitive way that worked for her and her family. Maria is the inspiration behind the Women Who Inspire Me series and I know you are going to totally understand why after you listen to this episode.
Maria is currently developing a self-help series on the mindset for healthy grieving. She recently wrote an article about the topic and you can find the link her.
