“Grief doesn’t change size — we just grow around it.”

In this episode, we explore what it really means to live with loss. Life can pour unexpected burdens over us — illness, heartbreak, the death of a loved one, even the passing of a beloved pet — and the pain doesn’t shrink with time. Instead, we carry it, integrate it, and grow around it.

Through personal stories of loss, fear, and small moments of presence, we unpack how grief shapes us, how it surprises us, and how it can coexist with joy. Because healing isn’t about erasing the hurt — it’s about learning to live with it, and letting the people around us help carry the weight.

💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why grief doesn’t actually get smaller — it becomes part of your story • How presence matters more than platitudes when someone is hurting • Practical ways to support others (and yourself) through grief • How loss can create strength, resilience, and new perspective • Why integrating grief can transform the way you live and love

🛠️ Action Step: Identify one way you can show up for someone who is grieving this week — a meal, a conversation, or simply your presence. Notice how your support can help them carry the weight, and reflect on the ways grief has shaped your own life.

📌 Perfect For: • Anyone experiencing loss or walking alongside someone who is • Those seeking a healthier perspective on grief and resilience • Friends, family, and caregivers looking for guidance on support • Anyone wanting to understand how pain and growth coexist
