Today, I’m recording this episode on the beach at sunrise, on what would have been my dad’s 56th birthday. Birthdays can be a bittersweet reminder of those we’ve lost, but I’ve come to see them as a chance to celebrate and honour our loved ones. 

Grief doesn't have a rulebook and birthdays can bring up so many emotions. In this chat I reflect on why these days still matter and how small rituals can keep their memory alive.

Whether you’ve lost someone or are navigating grief in your own way, I hope this episode reminds you that love doesn’t end—it just changes.
