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.

Most of us think grief has a predictable pattern but in reality, it's a chaotic, unpredictable rollercoaster that hits you when you least expect it. Zoe reveals the raw, unfiltered truth about the unexpected triggers and emotional landmines that catch even the most prepared off guard. If you're navigating loss right now, this episode will remind you that you're not alone in the chaos and that grief is much messier and more personal than any guidebook can prepare you for.
In this candid solo episode, Zoe dives into the heartbreak of recognizing that healing isn't linear. She shares her own journey through the years, from the deep ache of missing her father 17 years after his passing, to the surprising moments like smells, memories, and even random Tuesday feelings that shake her to her core. She confronts the unspoken realities of grief: the physical pain, brain fog, and emotional fatigue that many don't talk about but everyone experiences. Zoe emphasizes that grief isn’t about “getting over” someone; it’s about transforming into a new version of yourself one that carries love, loss, and resilience simultaneously.
Perfect for anyone who needs reassurance that grief doesn’t follow a neat script, but instead demands patience, compassion, and honesty. Tune in to hear the unfiltered truth about loss, love, and finding your way forward in a world forever changed.
