Grief Rules That Aren't Real
Ever wonder if you're grieving the "right" way?In this episode, I'm talking about the hidden assumptions and myths we carry about grief-where they come from, why they stick around, and how they quietly make us feel like we're doing it all wrong. If you've ever felt confused, behind, or like you "should" be over it by now, this conversation is for you. I'll help you unpack those old beliefs and start replacing them with something more truthful, gentle, and healing. Let's take the pressure off, together.

Let Go of Habits That Keep You Stuck in Grief
Are you clinging to habits that helped you survive loss-but now they're keeping you stuck?In this episode, I'm talking about the subtle ways we numb ourselves after a loss- and how to gently start letting go of the habits that no longer serve us. I'll share what helped me after losing my dad, brother, and mum in just eight months, and offer simple, compassionate steps you can take to move forward-without guilt or pressure. This isn't about fixing yourself. It's about noticing, feeling, and choosing something better. One small shift at a time.

When Closure Never Comes
Ever been told you need "closure" to move on?In this episode I'm unpacking the myth of closure-the idea that we need a neat, tidy ending to heal. Spoiler alert: we don't. I'll share why closure is often overrated, how we can still move forward without all the answers, and what it really means to carry something unfinished and still live a beautiful, meaningful life. Let's talk about the quiet endings, the unresolved feelings, and how to create our own peace, one honest step at a time.
