22. Part 2: How Grief Changes Us, Holding Space for Big Emotions, and Honoring the Dead
In part two of my conversation with sex educator Elizabeth Greenblatt, we're taking an abrupt turn from our conversation on sex, into a deep dive on grief. Elizabeth discusses the loss of one of her best friends in a tragic car accident in her early 20's, as I share a bit more about my own experience losing my brother to mental illness. We have a raw and open conversation about how grief changes us, why society struggles to hold space for hard emotions, and how we can honor those we’ve lost in the way we live. Even if you haven't listened to part one, this episode stands alone and will resonate with anyone who has experienced grief firsthand.
