Good F*cking Grief with Albert Strasser


Listen Later

Episode 356: Albert Strasser is a writer, coach, grief guide, and creative facilitator helping people turn toward the hard stuff—grief, loss, uncertainty—and find meaning, connection, and aliveness on the other side. Through 1:1 coaching and workshops like Good Fucking Grief and Writing With Grief, he creates spaces where people can metabolize pain and come home to their humanity. 


His work blends irreverence and depth, drawing from Buddhist teachings, story work, and lived experience to remind us that being broken open is not a flaw—it’s a gateway.


Albert shares his deeply personal journey, from losing his father unexpectedly, to caring for a brother in a prolonged vegetative state, to finding levity in the most unlikely corners of pain. They talk about how grief shows up in everything from comedy to ritual, why our culture is terrified of death, and how creative expression can be a lifeline in moments of rupture.
