Welcome to the Grief Series, a collection of conversations about the grief woven throughout our lives with some extraordinary women bringing their raw, vulnerable stories to the mic. I hope you see yourself somewhere in these stories.

…

This episode is for anyone who has ever had to keep showing up while watching someone they love disappear. My guest, Cait Howard, has experienced profound loss while building a business, raising three little girls, and navigating the many roles life has asked of her. Somehow, through all of it, she has kept moving forward. She brought so much honesty, wisdom, and heart to this conversation, and I think it’s one you’ll carry with you long after it ends.

TOPICS WE EXPLORE

• Losing two parents in a short period of time
• Being a new mom && a caregiver at the same time
• The guilt of being pulled in every direction at once
• How subconscious work changed the way she moved through her mom's illness
• Big G grief && little G grief
• How she protects herself through the grief
• Navigating a business partnership with your husband through loss
• What she wishes someone had told her

THE POINT

Grief doesn't have an endpoint. It has seasons && the only way through it is to let it be your own.
