Grief doesn’t knock politely...it grabs you when you least expect it. In this episode, we talk about those moments when grief feels overwhelming, sudden, and impossible to escape. Whether it shows up as sadness, anger, numbness, anxiety, or exhaustion, grief has a way of pulling us under just when we think we’re “doing okay.”

You’ll hear honest reflections on what it means to be caught off guard by grief, why these waves are normal, and how to meet yourself with compassion instead of judgment when they hit. This episode is a reminder that you’re not weak for struggling, you’re not broken for hurting, and you’re not alone in this experience.

If grief has grabbed you lately, or if you’re afraid it might, then this episode offers reassurance, grounding, and gentle guidance for getting through the moment and honoring your healing, one breath at a time.

✨ Perfect for anyone navigating loss, anniversaries, unexpected triggers, or the quiet moments when grief resurfaces.
