“Can you really be thankful when your heart is breaking?”

In this powerful Thanksgiving episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa and LaWayna open up about navigating grief during the holidays and how gratitude can coexist with pain. From personal stories of loss to a helicopter ride filled with fear and prayer, they share authentic perspectives on reframing, community, and starting small gratitude practices that help bring calm to an overwhelmed mind.

Whether you're grieving someone you love, struggling financially, or just feeling disconnected heading into the holidays—this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone, and you can hold grief and grace at the same time.

Quotes worth remembering

● “You can absolutely have gratitude and be grieving at the same time—we are complicated human beings.” – LaWayna 

● “Sometimes instead of asking ‘What am I grateful for?’ ask ‘What do I have?’” – Teresa

● “When we slow down and breathe, even for two minutes, the body begins to restore.” – Teresa

● “I told the Lord, help your little sad child today.” – LaWayna 

● “Maybe start with the ungrateful list before the grateful one.” – LaWayna 

Topics Covered

● Navigating grief during the holiday season

● How gratitude affects our brain chemistry and cortisol levels

● Different gratitude practices (journaling, prayer, spoken word, connection)

● The power of community in healing (AA, friendships, families)

● Reframing and slowing down to be present

● Adventuring outside comfort zones as an act of living

Key Takeaways

● You can hold both grief and gratitude at the same time. Healing doesn’t require pretending you’re okay.

● Starting small helps: Even a 2-minute breathing or gratitude moment can help reduce stress.

● There is no one right way to practice gratitude. Journaling, prayer, speaking, community—find what works for you.

● Reframing can shift mental state. Sometimes “What do I have?” is easier than “What am I grateful for?”

● Getting emotions out (even the negative ones) may help. Try writing an “ungrateful list” before moving into gratitude.

What does it look like to keep living when life hits you back-to-back with unimaginable loss?

In this candid and deeply honest conversation, Teresa and Wayna sit down with Coach Tabasha A. Davis — “Coach T” — certified life coach, speaker, and author, who shares her lived experience with grief, trauma, and rebuilding life from the bottom up. Coach T opens up about losing her son at 27, navigating eight additional family losses in the same year, and relying on coping skills she learned long before tragedy arrived. She breaks down what “healing out loud” really means, why trauma responses often feel like personality, and how generational wealth begins with mindset, emotional health, and accountability. This conversation brings truth, compassion, and tools for anyone walking through grief or personal transformation.
