This week, Lyn talks to Julie Foster, an intuitive grief coach, specialising in helping others to gain new perspectives so they can embrace and celebrate life. Julie joins Lyn to talk about dating after loss and the most common mistakes we make, and how best to avoid them. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we lose a partner, it can cause serious heartbreak and leave a gaping chasm inside that seems destined to be there forever. But with determination and will, we can heal our heart and get back to leading a normal fulfilling life once more. When we're ready to start dating after losing a partner, it's common to see how a new suitor compares with our old partner in many ways. But we must remember that everyone is different with their own uinque personality and traits. We must look for what's on offer and base our decisions on who a prospective partner is right now and not fall in love with a fantasy person we hope they'll turn out to be. We can sometimes romanticise a partner and fall in love with someone so much, that we choose to look past red flags, so always use discernment and trust your intuition. BEST MOMENTS 'I've tried to use my own life experience to help others' 'On one date I thought I was being interviewed for a housekeeper's job!' 'I have found amazing freedom and lots of myself that I didn't know I had' 'You can not fall in love with the potential of somebody' VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Spotify Stitcher  ABOUT THE GUEST Julie Foster For as long as Julie can remember she has been fascinated with the workings of the human mind, human behaviour, how our inner thoughts determine our life experience and how we interact with each other and the internal power we can use when we become aware of who we really are. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, sacrificing time with her Husband and Children just to feel ‘successful’ she had had enough. Julie understood that success on anything, but her terms was too big a price to pay. Julie is most grateful that she learned these life lessons before 2015, her year of greatest adversity. She survived breast cancer, became redundant from her corporate role, her youngest Son left home and her Husband died. Everything changed! Julie was grieving for the loss of so many things and could quite easily have sunk into a depression but…… With a different perspective she learned to grieve with grace, to see the positives in the circumstances, to seek out her inner strength and lean on those she loved. Not all was lost.
