GRIEF AND LIGHT
This space was created for you by someone who gets it – your grief, your foundation-shattering reality, and the question of what the heck do we do with the shattered pieces of life and loss around us.
It’s also for the listener who wants to better understand their grieving person, and perhaps wants to learn how to help.
Now in its fourth season, the Grief and Light Podcast features both solo episodes and interviews with first-hand experiencers, authors, and professionals, who shine a light on the broad spectrum of experiences, feelings, secondary losses, and takeaways.
As a bereaved sister, I share my personal story of the sudden loss of my younger brother, only sibling, one day after we celebrated his 32nd birthday. I also delve into how that loss, trauma, and grief catapulted me into a truth-seeking journey, which ultimately led me to answer "the calling" of creating this space I now call Grief and Light.
Since launching the first episode on March 30, 2023, the Grief and Light podcast and social platforms have evolved into a powerful resource for grief-informed support, including one-on-one grief guidance, monthly grief circles, community, and much more.
With each episode, you can expect open and authentic conversations sharing our truth, and explorations of how to transmute the grief experience into meaning, and even joy.
My hope is to make you feel less alone, and to be a beacon of light and source of information for anyone embarking on this journey.

GRIEF AND LIGHT
Modeling Courage: Recovering from Loss and Addiction | Jonathan Niziol
The sudden death of a parent, the loss of three close friends, and a sexual assault were among the catalysts of Jonathan Niziol’s 15-year spiral into alcohol, drugs, exercise addiction, anxiety and depression. His story, however, was kept hidden behind a carefully-constructed social media exterior, until now…
Raised in a serene Canadian farm, Jonathan Niziol's life is soon shadowed by the untimely loss of his mother, one day before his 21st birthday.
In this episode, Jonathan opens up about the heartbreak that sparked a transformative journey—a path marked by addiction, international modeling ventures, eating disorder, pancreatitis, sexual assault, and the triumphant stride of 16 1/2 years of sobriety to-date.
Amidst the heartbreaking lows, Jonathan's story takes an unexpected turn into the world of modeling, uncovering a tumultuous relationship with body image and a challenging connection with food.
In this candid conversation, he shares how embracing therapy in 2017 became the beacon of light that liberated him from the 15-year grasp of addiction and mental health disorders.
Join us as we explore the intricate layers of Jonathan's resilient spirit, shedding light on the triumphs that emerged from the depths of adversity.
