The Creative Grief Journey
Welcome to the Creative Grief Journey Podcast.
Each soul-led podcast offers tools and stories to help you navigating loss through creativity, community, and sacred practice.
Hosted by intuitive artist and grief recovery expert Dawn Renee Bova, this podcast explores how creativity, nature, and rituals can gently transform your darkest moments into light.
Together, we explore love, life, and loss—with courage, color, and compassion.
The Creative Grief Journey
Turning Loss into Levity: Ebrace the Creative Grief Journey
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The host returns after a pause and explains stepping away due to feeling overwhelmed and taking a stressful full-time, on-call job that they later resigned from.
After leaving, new aligned opportunities emerged, including joining a retreat in November in Belize and collaborating with Younique Wellness in Bellevue, Ohio on potential art classes and a day-long retreat, alongside deeper self-healing through a creatives group with Garrin Ase, revisiting The Artist’s Way, daily exercise, and making hearts for The Great Mother March.
Drawing from major losses—her father and her son Bradley—she emphasizes grief as non-linear, advocates creativity, conversation, and simple daily “grief lessons,” encourages asking others for notes and memories, and previews a seven-week grief recovery program plus a free 30-day journaling email prompt.
