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.

#8 Write It Down, Rip It Up: Finding Truth in the Spiral
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Jackie shares how she used the write and rip journaling tool to find clarity after letting her thoughts spiral out of control. After a difficult dinner with her family where anxious thoughts took over, she turned to this simple practice the next day—writing out everything that was bothering her, asking herself what was actually true, and then ripping up the page. The relief was immediate. She walks you through how to use this tool when negative thoughts are spinning, helping you separate what's real from what your mind is creating, so you can let go and move forward.
