<p>In this episode Rosie Moss is joined once again by Emma Grey. Emma is a former wills and probate lawyer turned grief-informed coach and counsellor, and founder of Rainbow Hunting.</p><p>The conversation moves into the reality of long-term grief and the parts people don’t really talk about once the initial shock fades. Emma speaks openly about how bereavement can strip away the coping strategies and masking that once held everything together, leaving people overwhelmed, hypervigilant, emotionally shut down or simply exhausted from surviving.</p><p>Together Rosie and Emma explore the overlap between grief and neurodivergence, late ADHD and autism diagnosis, rejection sensitivity, people pleasing, burnout, therapy, nervous system regulation and the strange process of rebuilding yourself after loss.</p><p>They talk honestly about fear of abandonment, the pressure of solo parenting whilst dysregulated, and the tiny practical things that can help when life feels too loud: noise-cancelling headphones, retreating to bed, familiar TV shows, breathing exercises and learning that sometimes shutting down is not weakness, but protection.</p><p>This is a raw, funny and deeply validating conversation about grief that doesn’t end neatly, the parts of ourselves we lose along the way, and the freedom that can come from finally understanding who you are underneath the survival mode.</p><p>Including:</p><p>• The story behind “Sadmin™” and why the paperwork after death can feel impossible</p><p>• Why grief behaves more like trauma than a timeline</p><p>• “You can become the best surfer in the world, but the waves still come”</p><p>• Window of tolerance explained: hypervigilance, shutdown and nervous system overwhelm</p><p>• Neurodivergence, masking and why grief often blows coping strategies apart</p><p>• Rejection sensitivity, abandonment wounds and the fawn response</p><p>• Why receiving help can feel harder than giving it</p><p>• Therapy as self-discovery rather than “fixing” yourself</p><p>• “Dormousing,” sensory regulation, noise-cancelling headphones and practical tools for overwhelm</p><p>• Why so many widowed parents are surviving in burnout mode</p><p>A thoughtful, funny, validating conversation for anyone navigating grief, neurodivergence, overwhelm, or simply trying to understand themselves a little better.</p><p></p>
