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.

After a rare movie marathon with her daughters and mom, the host discovers a powerful thread connecting three seemingly different films: Soul on Fire, People We Meet on Vacation, and My Girl. All three stories reveal the same truth—pain and loss will transform us, but we get to choose what they transform us into. In this episode, explore the difference between surviving your grief and letting it bury you, learn "The Ashes and the Growth" exercise for honoring both your losses and your strength, and discover how to keep your heart open even when it's terrifying. Plus, get details on the upcoming free grief workshop on January 25th. Because grief and growth aren't opposites—they're companions.
