The Everyday Grief Podcast
Everyday Grief is a podcast for professionals, leaders, and caregivers navigating the unspoken grief that comes with life’s hardest changes — career transitions, layoffs, leadership shifts, relationship loss, death, and personal identity loss.
Hosted by Dr. Anitra — a grief and change-transformed leadership voice, certified executive coach, HR consultant, minister, educator, and clinically trained chaplain — this podcast blends deep expertise in grief, leadership, organizational change, and personal transformation, guided by ethics, biblical scholarship, and theology.
Here, we explore how grief shows up beyond death — and within it — in workplaces, leadership, family, and identity — and what it means to move through loss while holding onto your worth and dignity.
If you’ve ever asked:
- Who am I now that this role is gone?
- How do I lead when I’m grieving?
- How do I rebuild after a relationship ends — or after loss that changed my life?
- How do I carry a death that still lives with me?
— you belong here.
Each episode offers:
- Real conversations about workplace grief, leadership loss, identity shifts, relationship grief, and death-related loss.
- Gentle reflection to help you process grief without pressure — and without having to "move on" too fast.
- Practical strategies for navigating non-death grief, professional loss, relationship grief, and deep personal transformation — with compassion and care.
Whether you’re facing a layoff, leadership change, breakup, divorce, estrangement, death of a loved one, or a quiet loss no one sees, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

The Grief of the Marketplace
In the final episode of the You Are Not a Line Item series, Dr. Anitra steps back to look at the collective grief caused by layoffs, systemic disconnection, and the commodification of human beings in the workplace.
Sharing from her personal experience of being laid off while carrying others’ shock and sorrow, she names the deep exhaustion of those who are always expected to hold space — even while unraveling themselves. With wisdom from trauma stewardship, grief psychology, and sacred compassion, this episode exposes the moral injury many are silently carrying and the spiritual numbness produced by workplace systems that reward productivity over presence.
Dr. Anitra offers both critique and hope — naming what has been lost, and calling us into healing through truth-telling, communal witness, and soul-centered storytelling.
This episode is a balm for the overburdened, a mirror for the overlooked, and a blessing for those longing to reclaim dignity in a system that has forgotten who we really are.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Emotional labor and moral injury
- The disconnection caused by corporate “resilience” culture
- Teachings from Laura van Dernoot Lipsky, Darcy Harris, Alan Wolfelt, and bell hooks
- Rituals and storytelling practices for personal and communal healing
- A warm invitation to work with Dr. Anitra through coaching, retreats, and sacred space-holding
