| 5/18/26 | 364. Working with Your Nervous System in Grief: An interview with Deb Dana | What if understanding your nervous system in grief could completely change how you experience loss, healing, and emotional overwhelm? This week, I sit down with Deb Dana, a renowned clinician, author, and polyvagal expert, best known for translating Dr. Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory into practical, accessible tools for clinicians and the public. Join us as we explore how grief impacts the nervous system and why so many widows feel stuck in survival states after loss. We unpack the role of polyvagal theory, nervous system regulation, and survival responses like fight, flight, and shutdown. You’ll also learn practical ways to work with your nervous system in grief, identify patterns of dysregulation, and find micro moments of safety through glimmers.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my client Wendy Veazie as she shares her deeply personal journey after the sudden loss of her husband, Peter, and how she learned to reframe her grief story and navigate unimaginable pain without losing herself. In this episode, Wendy opens up about the shock of sudden loss, the physical reality of grief, the stories we tell ourselves after tragedy, and how coaching helped her shift from focusing solely on loss to honoring both her pain and the gifts of her marriage. Together, we explore how grief can coexist with gratitude, authenticity, and intentional living.

| 5/4/26 | 362. Why Grief Isn’t Linear | Have you ever thought, “I was doing better, so why am I falling apart again?” In this episode, I want to reassure you that you are not back at the beginning, you are not failing, and you are not doing grief wrong. Grief was never meant to move in a straight line. Tune in this week to learn why grief isn’t linear, why the traditional idea of “stages” can make us judge ourselves, and why recurring grief waves do not mean something has gone wrong. Instead, I’ll show you how to think about grief as a spiral: layered, human, and always meeting you from a new place.

| 4/27/26 | 361. Does Grief Journaling Actually Help? | What if grief journaling - something everyone seems to recommend - might actually be keeping you stuck instead of helping you heal? In this episode, I challenge the idea that journaling is always beneficial, and explain why it sometimes leaves you feeling worse instead of better. Tune in to learn how to shift from unintentional journaling to purposeful grief journaling. I’ll show you how to question your thoughts, create space from them, and use writing as a tool for growth so you can move forward with intention instead of staying stuck.

| 4/6/26 | 358. Fear of Forgetting Your Person | What if the memories you hold most dear started to fade? Would that mean losing your person all over again? The fear of forgetting your person is something many widows quietly carry, and it can feel just as painful as the loss itself. In this episode, I share my own experience with the fear of forgetting your person - worrying about losing the sound of their voice, their quirks, and the tiny details that made them who they were - and what I’ve come to understand about this fear. Tune in this week to learn why forgetting details is completely human and doesn’t mean you’re losing your person. We’ll also talk about how connection evolves over time, and releasing the pressure to remember everything and embracing new ways to stay connected without fear.

| 3/23/26 | 356. What Does a Grief Life Coach Actually Do? | What does a grief life coach actually do, and could it change how you experience grief? If you’ve ever wondered whether coaching is just listening, advice-giving, or something more, this episode pulls back the curtain. In this episode, I explain what grief life coaching really is (and what it isn’t). Grief isn’t a problem to fix. It’s a natural response to loss. As a grief life coach, my role is to help widows understand their emotions, make sense of their thoughts, and navigate life after loss with more clarity and less unnecessary suffering. Join me today to hear how grief coaching helps you allow emotions instead of avoiding them, understand how your brain shapes your experience, reduce added suffering, and begin rebuilding a meaningful life. I also walk you through what actually happens in a coaching session and why group coaching can be so powerful in helping widows feel less alone.

| 3/16/26 | 355. If You’re Avoiding Everyone Right Now, This Is for You | Have you noticed yourself avoiding everyone lately, wondering if something might be wrong? After the loss of your person, even simple social interactions can suddenly feel overwhelming. If invitations feel heavy, texts go unanswered, or you just want more time alone, you might worry that you're isolating too much or doing grief “wrong.” Join me this week as I dive into what it really means when you're avoiding everyone during grief and why it’s far more common and often healthier than you might think. You’ll learn the three different experiences we often label as isolation, how to tell whether avoiding everyone is nourishing solitude or protective avoidance, and how to check in with yourself without judgment.

| 3/2/26 | 353. First Year as a Widow: What You Weren't Told | I used to think grief was something you “get through,” but what I’ve learned, and what I share in this episode, is that the first year isn’t about hitting milestones. It’s about your nervous system adjusting to a new reality you never chose. In this episode, I break down what many widows aren’t told ahead of time: grief is deeply physical; your body reacts; decision-making gets harder; confidence feels shaky; and relationships shift in all directions. Join me this week to hear why time alone doesn’t heal, why comparing your grief to a timeline sets you up for self-judgment, and questions to ask yourself to figure out what will actually support you during the first year.

| 2/23/26 | 352. My Top 8 Books for Widows | Are you searching for the right books for widows, hoping one of them will finally show you how to “do grief” the right way? I remember desperately wanting a roadmap or something that would tell me how to get to the end of grief successfully. In this episode, I share my top eight books for widows that have shaped how I understand grief, resilience, and growth in the nearly ten years since Hugo died. Some offer validation and comfort. Others explain the brain science and body responses behind grief. A few gently challenge us to think differently about suffering, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. Tune in this week to learn which books are best for early grief, which ones normalize what’s happening in your brain and body, and which ones explore resilience and growth without toxic positivity. Most importantly, I explain why reading about grief and learning to live with grief are two very different things, and why nothing has gone wrong if you’ve read all the books and still feel stuck.

| 2/16/26 | 351. Is It Selfish to Want to Move On? | Have you ever wondered if it’s selfish to want more for your life after your person dies? If the desire to date again, set boundaries, rest, or feel joy brings up guilt or heaviness, you are not alone. In this episode, I unpack the question so many widows quietly wrestle with: Is it selfish to want to move on? Tune in this week as I help you redefine what selfish really means, recognize internalized conditioning, and reclaim your agency without shame. You’ll hear why the phrase “moving on” can feel triggering, why “moving forward” is different, and how the fear of being selfish is often rooted in lifelong social conditioning, not truth.

| 2/9/26 | 350. Why Grief Feels Like Brain Fog | Have you been wondering why you can’t think clearly, remember simple things, or focus the way you used to since your person died? If grief has left you feeling foggy, slow, or disconnected from your own brain, you’re not alone—and nothing has gone wrong. In this episode, I’m talking about grief brain, often called widow fog, and why brain fog is such a common experience after loss. This experience is not a sign that you’re broken or failing at grief. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do in the face of a profound rupture in safety. Tune in this week as I help you understand why grief feels like brain fog, how self-judgment makes it harder, and what truly helps. You’ll learn practical, compassionate ways to support your nervous system, reduce unnecessary suffering, and trust that clarity will return without forcing, fixing, or pushing yourself before you’re ready.

When your person dies, your nervous system loses something foundational that you may not have even realized you had. Suddenly, things that used to feel easy feel hard, everything feels out of whack, and we don't feel at home in our bodies the way we're used to. Join me this week as I help you understand what's happening inside your nervous system after loss, how to recognize different nervous system states when they show up, and how to support yourself in ways that actually help.
