In this heartfelt episode of the Yarns for the Soul podcast, my sister Nicole (yes, my real life sister!) and I dive into the profound and often messy journey of grief. Together, we explore the raw realities of loss, the resilience it takes to navigate its depths, and the mental health tools that have helped us along the way.

I share my personal story of navigating grief after losing my father, a dear friend, and my grandfather in quick succession. We discuss how these profound losses transformed not only my identity but also my approach to life, sparking a new path as a coach. This candid conversation sheds light on the ongoing nature of grief and the ways we can move forward, step by step, while carrying the weight of loss.
This episode offers tools for grief and insights for building resilience, including ways to support yourself or others who are grieving. Whether you’re navigating grief firsthand or supporting someone through it, we hope you’ll find this conversation a source of comfort and empowerment.

What we cover in this episode:

• The emotional and physical toll of grief and how it reshapes our lives.
• The tools that helped me process grief, including yin yoga, slowing down, and connecting with nature.
• The challenges of returning to work and daily life while navigating loss.
• How language, societal expectations, and traditional approaches to mental health can fail grievers—and what we can do differently.
• The importance of showing up for grieving loved ones with presence, compassion, and practical support.
• Tips for supporting someone in grief, including what to say (and what not to say).
• The role of coaching in helping people process loss and move toward healing.

Through sharing personal stories and insights, Nicole and I highlight the power of vulnerability, resilience, and community in the face of grief. This episode is a reminder that, while grief is a deeply personal journey, none of us have to walk it alone.
