Grief Comadres | Real grief. Real women. Real healing.
Welcome to Grief Comadres, the podcast where we take off the mask and get honest about grief.
Hosted by Jackie—speech-language pathologist, grief coach, and fellow traveler on this journey—this show is about normalizing grief in all its forms. Whether you're healing from death, divorce, job loss, health challenges, or life's unexpected transitions, you'll find your people here.
We've been taught to hide our pain, to fake the smile, to say 'I'm fine' when we're anything but. This podcast changes that conversation. Through real stories shared sin vergüenza (without shame), cultural wisdom, and heartfelt connection, we create space for the grief that society tells us to hide.
Here, your grief is valid. Your story matters. And you're not alone.
Join the Grief Comadres community and stop carrying your grief in silence.

#5 The Comadre's Guide to Finding Your Therapist (or Coach)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we're talking about something I hear all the time: "I tried therapy once, but I didn't like the therapist, so I stopped going." Sound familiar? Here's the truth, comadres—finding the right therapist or coach is just like dating. Sometimes you have to "date around" until you find the one who truly gets you.
I'm sharing research-backed tips on how to find a therapist or life coach who clicks with your needs, your vibe, and your healing journey. From checking their specialty to scheduling discovery calls, we'll walk through what to look for (and what red flags to avoid). Plus, I'm sharing my mom's wild story about a therapist who literally fell asleep during her session—because yes, that really happened!
Whether you're dealing with grief, divorce, life transitions, or just need support, this episode will help you advocate for the care you deserve.
