In this episode, I dive into The Art of After—the workbook I wrote on transforming grief into art—and share the truths, myths, and surprising “cheat codes” that make healing possible.

I read a passage from the book on the most common misconceptions about grief, and I talk about what actually begins to shift when you stop trying to “get over it” and instead let it move through you creatively. I also share my excitement about Threads, and how magical it feels to finally connect the podcast directly to that space.

We explore:

✔ The real myths of grief—and why they keep you stuck

✔ The unexpected “cheat code” to healing (and why it works)

✔ How grief becomes art, and why creation is one of the most powerful forms of alchemy

✔ Why you don’t have to be “ready” to begin healing

✔ The joy of expanding the Insert Wisdom ecosystem into Threads

This episode is for anyone carrying a story inside them that feels heavy, shapeless, or unfinished. For the ones learning how to turn pain into something meaningful, beautiful, or true.

If you’ve ever wondered how to heal without erasing what you’ve lost—or how to honor your grief in a way that gives something back to you—this one’s for you.

Thank you for being here. And thank you for listening. 🕯️
