  • Depth

    Yarrow has an amazing capacity to express and explore what so many of us are feeling: the tender, slow places within us that yearn for validation, creative care and support. They (and the wonderful people featured as guests) bring so much to the experience of living as authentically human, particularly in troubled times.

  • Cozy + Calming

    Yarrow makes magic in these podcasts and helps you have a heartfelt turnaround with challenging emotions that are inherently human like grief, sorrow and feelings of being isolated.

    Always a soft place to land!! I encourage you to cozy up and give a listen.

#250 Why Some Friendships Don't Survive Grief
Q: How do I ask for help without feeling like a burden?
Be specific about what you need, acknowledge your feelings honestly, and frame requests in a way that allows the other person to say yes or no without pressure.
#243 Be Where Your Feet Are: Grief, Cancer, and the Space Between Science and Spirit with Bron Watson
