<p>Grief isn’t just about death, it’s every loss we were never given the language for. In this episode, the three of us get real about the messy, unfiltered versions of grief: when your identity shifts, when relationships fall apart, when your stability cracks, and when the dreams you swore you’d grow into quietly fade out. We talk about how grief shows up in the body; the exhaustion, the irritability, the brain fog, and why your body holds on to what your mind keeps trying to outrun.</p><p>We sit with the truth that grief is a teacher. It’s an alchemist. It will break you open, build your empathy, tighten your boundaries, and force you to live like tomorrow isn’t promised, because it isn’t.</p><p>And we dig into what real support looks like: presence over fixing, listening over rescuing, courage over comfort. We talk about how acknowledgment isn’t the same as acceptance, and why so much of what people call “stress” right now is really collective grief that nobody wants to name.</p>
