If you work in an industry where loss is all around you, do you ever get used to it? Should you get used to it? Is there any way TO get used to it? With questions from a fitness instructor that lead us into discussions about emotions and boundaries and the risks of being human in the workplace - if you’ve ever wondered if you should be better at turning off the pain around you, this one’s for you. 




PS: if you’ve got friends or family working in tough professions (including the fitness industry!), be sure to tune in for an inside look at what it’s like to work in a loss-filled job.

In this episode we cover: 
Emotional numbness on the job: if you see loss all the time, shouldn’t you be used to it by now? 
Why shaming your colleagues for NOT being numb to loss is maybe not the best way to build community
How working in the fitness industry actually exposes you to a lot of loss
Standard responses for emotional-relational judgment, aka: one liners to shut down the haters
Excellent workplace boundaries: what to do when your clients lives affect you & you need to both keep it together and show your compassion




Questions to Carry with you:




A sneakily simple-seeming reflection question about emotions in the workplace

Life is full of difficult things, from tiny everyday disappointments to life-altering events. Everyone’s at least a little bit Not OK, something grief expert and psychotherapist Megan Devine knows from the inside out. In wide ranging, insightful, deep conversations, Megan talks with people about their often invisible losses - and what they’ve learned about being seen and supported in difficult times. 

With guests pulled from the front lines of entertainment, medicine, education, and activism, the conversations in It’s OK that You’re Not OK are funny, complex, emotional, and hopeful - maybe not your typical dinner party topics, but none of us are entirely OK, and it’s time we start talking about that.

New episodes each and every Monday, from the author of the best-selling book, It’s OK That You’re Not OK, and iHeartMedia. Find Megan online at @refugeingrief & follow the show @ItsOKPod
