Glimmers in Grief

About this episode

Gretchen discusses finding light in grief and the importance of what truly matters in life.

In this week’s episode, Gretchen is trying to bring a little more light back in. After a brutally hard season, she talks honestly about what Moose’s loss has reminded her of, who and what actually matters, why so much of the noise we stress about is meaningless, and how grief has a way of making everything crystal clear. She also gets into finding little “glimmers” during dark moments, how her definition of success has changed over the years, and why confidence really comes from proving to yourself that you’ll do what you said you would. From building a solid girl group, to making new friends as an adult, to not forcing yourself to be “strong” all the time, this episode is part life update, part pep talk, and part big sister advice. If you’ve been feeling a little lost, lonely, in transition, or just tired of carrying everything perfectly, this one will feel like a deep breath. 📧 To get in touch with the podcast, email: teamgretchen@avoiragency.com __ 💕 Watch episodes on Youtube and follow Gretchen on Instagram and Tiktok __ ✅ Please make sure to subscribe, follow, rate and review!
