Grief is my New Hobby
This is the grief podcast that refuses to follow the rules. It's a not self-help podcast, it's self-honesty.
Losing both of my parents before I turned 30 has been one of the shi*test experiences and navigating a lot of big emotions has been a challenge. From laughing awkwardly whilst waiting for coroners to trying to understand probate jargon.
This podcast is here to f*ck off the stigma around grief and remind you that you don't have to do this alone.

Ep 11: Grief & Identity Loss
In this week’s episode of Grief is My New Hobby, I surprise myself by getting very emotional as I open up about the ways grief reshapes our identity.
I explore the deep, often unspoken loss of identity that comes with losing someone we love, the way titles like daughter, parent, partner, or caregiver can suddenly shift or disappear, leaving us unsure of who we are now. These aren’t just words; they’re roles that shape how we move through the world and how others see us.
I talk about the uncomfortable feeling of living as the “before me” and the “after me,” and what it means to try to integrate grief into who we are today.
This chat is a vulnerable self-reflection, one that honours the pain of identity loss while also holding space for the possibility of growth and transformation, even in the midst of grief.
