13 Nov 2025
In this powerful solo episode, we continue the conversation sparked by my recent interview with grief and loss coach Katy Parker — but this time, we’re taking a closer look at one of the most well-known (and misunderstood) grief models: the Five Stages of Grief.We’ve all heard them — denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance — but what do they really look like in everyday life? And what if you’re not experiencing them “in order”?In this episode, we’ll explore:✨ Why grief isn’t linear — and never has been✨ How the five stages can appear, disappear, and reappear over time✨ Real-life examples of what each stage may feel like emotionally + physically✨ Why invisible grief deserves just as much space and support✨ Practical tools to care for yourself in whatever stage you’re in todayThis conversation is about compassion… for yourself, your grief, and your healing.There is no finish line. There is no “moving on.”There is only learning to move with grief while still honoring your life, your joy, and the love that remains.If you connected with the themes Katy shared, this episode will help you apply those insights in meaningful, supportive ways — no matter where you are on your journey.
