I would recommend this entire show to anyone, but this episode specifically is about grief and love. It is a conversation the creator recorded between him and his mom before she died. This show was such a comfort for me right after my dad died. Funny aside, I actually hung out with the creator for a weekend way back in 2007!

Listening to The Duncan Trussell Family Hour episodes centered around grief and loss helped me so much with my father’s death. Literally transformed my mind.

A great explanation of how to deal: "It breaks your heart open. Our hearts have been closed, we've defended ourselves against pain. This opens them." "Opening your heart sucks. It hurts. Does opening your heart always hurt?" "When it really cracks open, it hurts. But when you really enquire, you know that what you're experiencing is love." I love this. thank you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB9nDTRjxtM

One of the most creative and visually stunning shows I've ever watched. Addresses topics of love, death, spirituality, existentialism. Last ep is amazing.

Absolute banger of an animated podcast that involves deep conversations about life, death, and lots of self-reflection. We need more shows like this!!!

Probably my favorite show of all time. I sleep to it and dream to it. The visuals are so wild and eccentric but fitting for the overall story and you can't really tear your eyes away. While the main content is like a podcast exploring different things like religion, death, meditation, etc. If that sounds like something you'd be into then for sure check out the show! To me it's a kin to a big warm hug coming from an extremely wise wizard.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
