We are kicking this new season off with a timely and compelling interview exploring the effects of grief and loss with Shelby Forsythia, the author of Permission to Grieve and podcast host of Coming Back: Conversations on Life After Loss. 

How do we process grief? How do we navigate the loss of loved ones, relationships, jobs, health, opportunities, and seasons? How do we love and support those close to us who are experiencing deep grief in their lives? How do we make sense of a pandemic that has left everyone experiencing loss in different ways? These questions and more will be explored in this first episode of Season 3!

More about our guest Shelby Forsythia:

After the unexpected death of her mother in 2013, Shelby became a “student of grief” and set out on a lifetime mission to explore the oft-misunderstood human experience of loss. Through her book, weekly podcasts, and one-on-one grief guidance, she helps grieving people find direction, get support, and cultivate radical self-compassion after devastating loss.

Shelby is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, and Intuitive Grief Guide. Her work has been featured on Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.
