Join me as I sit down with Katrina Shaw for an honest and deeply layered conversation about living with grief across multiple seasons of life.

Katrina shares her personal grief journey, including the loss of her mother at age 15, the premature death of her nephew, and her experiences with recurrent miscarriage and infertility. She opens up about the emotional complexity of becoming a parent after loss, navigating postnatal depression, and the profound identity shifts that can accompany motherhood and grief.

The conversation also explores Katrina’s later-in-life ADHD diagnosis and chronic illness, highlighting how grief can evolve and resurface in unexpected ways as life circumstances change. Together, we discuss the challenges of unmet expectations, the importance of open communication, and the small but meaningful steps that can help individuals cope with grief, loss, and identity changes over time.

This episode offers validation and support for anyone experiencing child loss, infertility, mental health challenges, or the ongoing nature of grief, reminding listeners that grief is not something we “move on” from, but something we learn to live with (and how!).
