Ep 24 Dancing with Grief – A Conversation with Margie McNabb
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Grief is not something to fix—it’s something to feel, to live with, and, sometimes, to gently move alongside.
In this heartfelt episode of Rewired, Tiffany sits down with coach, facilitator, and longtime leader Margie McNabb for an honest and deeply human conversation about love, loss, and what it means to dance with grief.
Margie shares her personal story of losing her husband Richard to a brain tumor after a rapid six-month journey, and how she chose to meet grief with openness, support, and self-compassion. Rather than trying to “move on,” Margie speaks candidly about allowing grief to be present—seeking connection, engaging in grief coaching and support groups, and learning how to stay in relationship with both love and loss.
This episode is less about theory and more about lived wisdom—what actually helped, what surprised her, and what she wishes others knew about grief.
This conversation is for anyone who has experienced loss, is supporting someone who is grieving, or simply wants permission to feel without needing to “fix” anything.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- A real-life story of love, loss, and resilience
- What “dancing with grief” looks like in practice
- Why grief doesn’t follow a timeline or formula
- The role of support, connection, and being witnessed
- Gentle truths for those early in grief—or trying to be strong for others
- How grief can coexist with meaning, purpose, and continued living
This episode isn’t about solutions—it’s about companionship, presence, and honoring the full human experience of grief.
