Nick Gaylord is the creator of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word Podcast, a show that normalizes conversations around grief, trauma, and loss — and creates space for others to process what they’ve lived through.

What began as a way to navigate his own heartbreak has become a growing community where no story is too heavy, and no one has to grieve alone.
