Right now, the WAKE Wellness team is onsite at our 2024 Rebirth Retreat, November 2-9, in Mixto, Mexico. We're so glad to have the opportunity to help our community get out of life's autopilot and break free from factors that have held them back.
This week is all about embracing the opportunity to take back your power, gain practical tools, and leave with a newfound sense of purpose and authenticity.
We have some exciting podcast content in store in the coming weeks. For now, we wanted to re-share this incredible episode with friend-of-the-show Whitney Allen. We hope you enjoy hearing Whitney's insights about helping others with their grief journey through her own experience.

This week on the Wake the F*ck Up Podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome back listener favorite Whitney Allen. A successful author and widow, Whitney shares her deeply personal journey since the loss of her husband, Ryan, in April 2022. In this candid conversation, she reflects on her transition from practicing law to dedicating herself to helping others navigate their grief.
Whitney offers valuable insights on the importance of confronting emotions rather than avoiding them, emphasizing that truly facing our feelings is essential for healing. She also highlights the challenge of finding genuine guidance in a world filled with overwhelming noise, encouraging listeners to seek out authentic sources of support.
Throughout the episode, Whitney stresses that intentional actions and community support are vital for personal growth, even when that growth feels uncomfortable. She shares practical tips for effectively communicating with those who are grieving, urging listeners to validate their experiences and be present for others during their hardest moments.
In addition to these heartfelt insights, Whitney introduces her upcoming book, "What Must Be Carried," set to release in March 2025. We invite listeners to presave the link here to purchase the book. This essential resource for anyone coping with loss.
Join us for this inspiring conversation, and don’t forget to connect with Whitney through her website and social media for additional support and resources on grief. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand grief more deeply and help others through their journeys.
