In this heartfelt episode I'm joined by Laura Walton—a licensed mental health therapist—as she opens up about her deeply personal journey with grief after losing her father to suicide and her best friend to a drug overdose in her twenties.

These profound losses shaped her purpose and career, leading her to become a grief and trauma therapist dedicated to helping others navigate loss. In this beautiful conversation, Laura shares how yoga and the mind-body connection became powerful tools in her healing process, offering both grounding and hope.

Together, we explore:
✨ Coping with the loss of a loved one to suicide and overdose
✨ The role of yoga, mindfulness, and embodiment in grief
✨ Why living in the present moment can bring peace during grief
✨ Insights on resilience, healing, and rediscovering yourself after loss

Whether you’ve experienced suicide loss, overdose grief, or are simply searching for ways to heal through grief and could use some inspiration, Laura’s story and wisdom will leave you feeling seen and supported.
