In this powerful and intimate episode of Gal on the Prowl, host Jessica Spawn sits down with filmmaker and film educator Natasha Paris for a conversation every woman needs, especially during the holidays.

While the season is often portrayed as cheerful and full of connection, many women experience it through the lens of grief, loss, and quiet heartache. This episode explores what happens when the holidays don’t look like the movies, and how we can better support the people we love (and ourselves) during those moments.

Jessica and Natasha share a rich creative history dating back to 2011. Their journey has included film festivals, creative wins, setbacks, and even traveling to Paris, France for Filmapalooza... but this episode focuses on something deeper than filmmaking.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Navigating grief during the holidays
• How to support someone experiencing loss (without saying the wrong thing)
• Letting go of the pressure to “be okay”
• Friendship, creativity, and showing up with compassion

Join the conversation! If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and share it with someone who might need it. You never know who’s quietly struggling this season.
