Grieving With More Freedom
Welcome to the Grieving With More Freedom Podcast, where we talk about navigating loss in the Real World. Grief can be unpredictable and exhausting, and let’s be honest, it doesn’t conveniently wait until you're sitting in therapy or in your support group. Grief can drop in anytime, anywhere.
This is where I share powerful insights that meet you in your everyday life with grief, so you can ultimately connect to more peace, purpose and resilience.
I, too, am walking my own journey with grief. I understand the complexity and challenges of loss on a personal level. My unique perspective is a blend of my own healing and almost 3 decades of work as a therapist specializing in grief.
This podcast is designed to be your grief companion on walks, errands and commutes. Let's dive in together.
Here's to your beautiful resilience.
