In this deeply personal episode, I explore grief from every angle—the physical, the psychological, and the emotional.
Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a pregnancy, or even a version of yourself, this episode is a space to feel held and understood. Although I do focus mostly on the loss of a loved one (death or transitioning - depending on the language you use) - if you have experienced a break up I would say that the break-up episode would be a better option.
I’ll guide you through:
What grief actually is (and what it isn’t)
How grief affects your brain, nervous system, and body
The difference between anticipated and sudden loss
The power of movement, ritual, and reflection in processing grief
And how, even in the ache, grief can reconnect us to life in deeper ways
I also share personal reflections—including my own experience after losing my mum—and offer journal prompts to help you process what you’re carrying.
This is not a fix-it guide. It’s a soft space to breathe, to feel, and to remember that you’re not alone.
