Olivia Falcon joins us from Greenpoint, Brooklyn to talk about how we can navigate the use of Vices during a grieving process. 

Olivia is a yoga teacher and works closely with Katonah Yoga founder, Nevine Michaan.

We discuss how we can balance nourishing ourselves, and partake in our comforting Vices while healing from heartbreak and grief. 

If you are struggling with substance abuse, this episode may not be for you, see notes below for resources to find support. Reminder -- I am not a mental health professional and am merely sharing my personal experience. 

Topics we cover:

• Breakups as a catalyst for grief
• Sensuousness and indulgence
• Softening the edges of grief
• Creating Ritual around enjoying your Vices
• Marijuana as a master plant teacher
• Creating structure around indulging
• "Everything in moderation, including moderation"
• Vices as a tool to dive more deeply into emotion
• Daily tools to stay in balance while grieving
