Grief is often an uncomfortable emotion, but it's something everybody experiences in one way or another. Even though it can be hard to accept and difficult to process, according to this week's guest, we must remember that grief is not something to shame or try to "fix"-- instead, it needs to be recognized and honored.

In this episode, we connected with Addison Brasil, a producer, speaker and author of the best-selling First Year of Grief Club: A Gift From A Friend Who Gets it. His book serves as a beacon to those entering grief club inspired by three compounded losses in his twenties - losing his brother to a brain tumor, finding his father after suicide and surviving a fatal accident that a dear friend did not.

This episode is an invitation to find peace, comfort, and understanding in the midst of grief. For anyone currently experiencing or knowing someone going through this difficult time – it's here for you.
