On today's episode of Life's Accessories, Rachel and Stephanie welcome Barri Leiner Grant, the Chief Grief Officer™ and founder of The Memory Circle. Barri shares the moving story about the day her mother Ellen died in 1993 and about how something unexpected that was found in her beach bag from that tragic day turned into a coveted accessory.

Barri left a career as a publicist, stylist and editor to step into full-time work as a Certified Grief Coach. As she said, “I dabbled in small motherless daughter events as a peer, when I received my yoga teacher training, and knew I needed to make the Circle bigger.”

Barri has studied with the leading names in the grief space including grief certification and education with Claire Bidwell Smith and David Kessler. She combines her writing background and yoga/meditation training to craft a one-of-its-kind way forward in learning to live with loss. She hosts groups and 1:1 sessions bathed in her grief tending techniques.
