On this week’s episode of the Wake the F*** Up podcast we are unpacking the scary and sometimes-taboo topic of death, and the often misunderstood aspects of the grieving process in our culture. This week’s guest is an expert on grief and trauma, Janet Kahoe. Jan is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Alix’s longtime therapist. Jan has worked as a psychotherapist for over 35 years, after receiving her License in Counseling in 1988.

She is now in private practice where she works with individuals, couples, and families regarding grief, anxiety, and depression. And she is a certified A-I-T practitioner.
