2026/10/05

Drop me a message or voice note! Have you ever looked around at the people who are supposed to be grieving right alongside you and felt like you're on a completely different planet? Maybe they seem "fine" while you're barely holding it together. Or, maybe you're moving through it while they still seem stuck, and you feel guilty for that, too. In this episode, I'm talking about the isolating experience of grieving differently than your partner, siblings, parents, or friends, even when you're ...

Drop me a message or voice note! Imagine walking into a prison to sit across from the woman responsible for your children's deaths, bracing to be wrecked for a month, and walking out feeling lighter instead. That's just one moment from my conversation with Colin Campbell, and it's one I'm still thinking about. I'm sitting down with Colin, author, playwright, and part-time professor of theater and film. On June 12, 2019, Colin and his wife, Gail, lost their two children, 17-year-old Ruby and...

Drop me a message or voice note! Welcome to a special bonus minisode! This 5-Minute Grief Chat (usually exclusively on YouTube) is all about the second year of loss. Ever feel like your grief got harder in year two instead of easier? You're not imagining it, and that is a VERY real thing in grief. In this 5-Minute Grief Talk, I'm breaking down why the second year of loss can hit differently than the first, and why that's actually a normal, honest part of the healing process. ✨ Why year one r...

2026/09/24

Drop me a message or voice note! "You can't be sad forever." A professor said that to Shelby two months after her mom died, and I'm still not over it on her behalf. Whether you're the one grieving or the one trying to support someone who is, the words we use can make a person feel seen or completely unseen in a split second. In this episode of Life With Grief, I'm sitting down with grief coach, author, and podcaster Shelby Forsythia to talk about what to say (and what to skip) when someone i...

244. Why Silence Feels So Different After Loss

Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast ·

2026/09/21

Drop me a message or voice note! Grief has a sound. Or more accurately, it has an absence of sound... and that silence after loss is a completely different kind of quiet than anything you've known before. In this episode, I'm getting honest about why the silence after loss feels so deafening, why it can bring up some of our darker and scarier thoughts, and why—as uncomfortable as it is—learning to sit with it is actually one of the most important things we can do for our healing. I'm p...

Drop me a message or voice note! What do you do when loving your baby means having to say goodbye to him before he's even born? In this episode I sit down with Rosanna Brown, who takes us inside one of the most misunderstood and least-talked-about kinds of loss there is: TFMR, termination for medical reasons. At her 20-week scan, Rosanna and her husband learned their son William had a condition that meant he would never survive outside the womb, and in the space of 24 hours, they were faced ...

Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast ·

2026/09/10

Drop me a message or voice note! Twenty-five years ago, Tara Bane's husband Michael kissed her goodbye, walked out the door, and never came home. He was working on the 100th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001. In this episode, Tara opens up about that day, the years of grief that followed, and how she eventually rebuilt a life she's proud of, including surviving the sudden loss of her mother just six years later, at only 19 years old. We talk about what it's really like to grieve...

Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast ·

2026/09/07

Drop me a message or voice note! Have you ever looked at a relationship that used to feel like home and suddenly felt like you were speaking a different language? That disorienting shift is something I hear about constantly from my clients, and it's something I lived through myself in the years after losing my parents. In this episode, I'm talking about outgrowing relationships after loss. That strange, often guilt-inducing experience of growing and evolving so much through grief that some r...

Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast ·

2026/09/03

Drop me a message or voice note! There's a specific kind of grief that comes from losing a child. It's out of order, it defies everything we think we understand about life, and it changes you in ways that are almost impossible to put into words. In this episode, I sit down with Teresa Davis—grief mentor, author, registered nurse, and host of The Grief Mentor Podcast—to talk about the loss of her son Andrew, a corporate pilot who died in a plane crash in 2018 at just 32 years old. Teresa do...

2026/08/27

Drop me a message or voice note! I don't think I've had a conversation on this podcast that captures the sheer whiplash of compounded loss quite like this one. My guest today is Emilie Eiden—flight attendant, grief and trauma-informed coach, and the heart behind the Instagram community Emily in Transit—and her story is one of those that reminds you grief doesn't wait its turn. Emilie spent most of her twenties caring for her father as he lived with multiple sclerosis and cancer, watching him...

2026/08/24

Drop me a message or voice note! Can grief actually make you more magnetic? I know that might sound like a strange question—maybe even a little "woo woo"—but stick with me on this one. This episode was sparked by an afternoon walk with my daughter, an episode of Sahara Rose's Higher Self podcast, and my word of the year: magnetic. As I listened to her talk about what makes a person magnetic—present, authentic, unbothered by the small stuff—I couldn't stop thinking about how much of that we, ...

2026/08/20

Drop me a message or voice note! I sit down with poet, therapist, and author Sara Rian to talk about the day her world changed. Sara's mom, Susan, died by suicide in July 2018 when Sara was just 28, and this conversation goes straight into the parts of grief after suicide loss that so many of us are afraid to say out loud. We talk about what it's really like in those first immobilizing weeks. The police calls, the organ donation decision, planning a funeral while still in shock, and more. ...

2026/08/10

Drop me a message or voice note! This week's episode is a little different! Instead of my usual conversation, I'm leaving you with something to hold onto while I'm away. I'm off exploring Sicily with my husband and daughter, and it got me thinking about how loaded it can feel to want new experiences after loss—especially places or plans you once imagined sharing with the person you lost. So instead of a regular episode, I recorded a quick guided meditation on giving yourself permission to ex...

2026/08/06

Drop me a message or voice note! I don't think I've ever had a conversation on this podcast quite like this one. Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Gillian O'Shea Brown, a psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and author who has found the most fascinating way to make trauma and grief work accessible: through Greek mythology. Gillian grew up in Ireland where emotions were something to be feared, not felt (hello, banshee folklore). That background shaped her belief that "the opposite of depression ...

Life With Grief Podcast | Grief Support Podcast ·

2026/08/03

Drop me a message or voice note! In today's episode of Mourning Sips and Soul Shifts, I'm talking about something I don't think gets named enough in grief: the shame spiral. That heavy feeling of watching everyone around you move forward—working, laughing, planning vacations—while you're still carrying the weight of your loss. If you've ever asked yourself "why am I not further along by now?", this episode is for you. We dig into: ✨ Why grief comes with a hidden layer of shame, and why that ...

2026/07/30

Drop me a message or voice note! Losing a parent changes you, but losing a parent as a man when you've been taught your whole life to keep it together? That's a different kind of grief. In this episode, I sit down with Roger Nairn, co-host of the Dead Dads Podcast, to talk about his father's death from cancer, his choice to pursue Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in Canada, and what it's really like to grieve as a son when you weren't given the tools to feel your feelings. Roger opens up a...

Drop me a message or voice note! I first connected with Korie Leigh at GriefTastic and I knew I had to get her on the podcast, because we don't talk nearly enough about what it actually looks like to build grief-informed spaces, especially in the workplace. Korie's background is truly incredible. She started as a child life specialist in pediatric hospitals before going on to get her master's in thanatology and her PhD in transpersonal psychology. In this conversation, she opens up about how...

Drop me a message or voice note! Why does happiness feel scary after you've lost someone? If you've ever caught yourself waiting for the other shoe to drop right in the middle of a genuinely good moment, this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why joy can feel unsafe after loss—especially after compounding or back-to-back losses—and what to actually do about it. I lost my mom and dad within six months of each other, both to cancer, and less than a year later I lost my 19-year-old dog, Princes...

Drop me a message or voice note! In this episode I sit down with Amanda Lentz, host of Who We Become: Life Beyond Change, to talk about something we don't say out loud enough: that surviving a life-threatening illness comes with its own kind of grief. Amanda found out she was BRCA-positive at 28. She felt a lump in 2020, and at 34 (in the middle of COVID), she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. In this conversation, she takes us through six months of chemo, a double mastectomy...
