In this deeply moving episode, Kanu opens up about the weight of grief—the kind that lingers long after the funeral flowers fade. From the profound loss of her parents and siblings to the silence of a 10-day meditation retreat that changed everything, she shares the raw, tender, and at times, humorous journey of learning to live with loss.
Whether you’re grieving a loved one, a relationship, or a version of life that no longer exists, this episode will meet you right where you are. With clinical insight from her work as a therapist, personal stories that make you laugh and cry, and a soul-level reflection on healing, Kanu reminds us that grief doesn’t need to be fixed—it needs to be witnessed.
If you’ve ever felt alone in your sadness or tired of pretending you’re okay, this one’s for you.
