SHOW NOTES:

This conversation explores grief as more than loss through death—it’s the unprocessed pain tucked inside everyday transitions, from divorce to “happy” milestones that still require letting go. We unpack the myths that keep us busy, numb, and disconnected (“time heals,” “stay strong”) and replace them with emotionally honest practices that actually heal: pausing instead of pushing, feeling instead of retelling the story, and allowing vulnerability to create real connection. You’ll learn how the Grief Recovery Method offers a step-by-step, evidence-based path from surviving to thriving; why busyness often masks grief; how to recognize short-term coping habits (staying “productive,” scrolling, shopping, wine) and choose heart-centered alternatives (breath, journaling, being witnessed).
