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.
This podcast is not medical advice, psychotherapy or counseling. It is for educational and entertainment purposes only. If you or someone you know is in crisis dial or text 988 for the suicide crisis lifeline.

Grieving With More Freedom
Graduation, Life Events, & Grief
In today's episode I talk about a specific type of grief that tends to be ignored, dismissed, and underestimated. It's grief that commonly surfaces during major life events like graduation.
Beginnings, endings, and changes are big opportunities for this type of grief to drop in unexpectedly. You'll gain clarity about what this grief is and why this grief can be confusing and underappreciated. You'll also learn 3 impactful strategies to respond to it, so you're more confident and prepared.
We are just now entering the May, June graduation season. College, high school and maybe even preschool students will be walking across stages everywhere and flipping their tassels. Let’s throw some weddings in there, job changes and location moves. We are in a season of milestones and change.
I have 3 family members graduating this year, 2 from high school and 1 from college... a niece and 2 nephews. But it was only 2 years ago my youngest was flipping her tassel and walking across the stage at Mount Holyoke. I remember the grief amidst the excitement and joy of that time.
Grief comes in many shapes and sizes, but it’s not always directly associated with death. Today I’m focusing more on graduation, but this information applies to many different kinds of beginnings, endings, and changes:
Weddings, promotions, job changes, divorce, separation, moving to a new area, kids moving out, and the college launch.…just to name a few.
In any of these life events, grief can remain just under the surface, at an almost undetectable level, or it can present itself with intensity.
Let's dive in and explore this together! Here's to your beautiful resilience!
