This episode is different. Instead of sitting across from a guest, I am the one in the chair.
In this solo episode, I share my own personal timeline of grief, loss, and trauma — and trace how each experience shaped the ones that came after it. From what I learned about grief growing up, through infertility, miscarriage, the death of my daughter A’Mya three days after she was born, the suicide of my mother four and a half months later, a significant trauma in my adult life, separation, and single parenthood — this is the story behind the work.
My intention is not to centre myself. It is to model what I ask of every guest: that your personal story is not separate from how you grieve. It is the lens through which you grieve. Understanding that lens changes everything.
If you are carrying multiple losses, if your grief feels more complicated than you think it should, or if you support someone whose grief seems out of proportion to the immediate loss, this episode is for you.
