In this heartfelt episode, we’re joined by Melanie Savage—grief coach and advocate for pet parents navigating loss. Melanie opens up about her own journey with grief and how it inspired her to help others process the deep emotional bonds we share with our animals. Together, we explore how grief can be a portal to healing, the importance of honoring the goodbye, and practical tools to stay grounded through the pain of losing a beloved companion. Melanie holds a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University, where her research focused on improving support for human-animal relationships. She also partnered with Community Veterinary Outreach to create a mental health and social support service for pet parents accessing the organization’s Ottawa-based clinics.

Tune in for a rich, compassionate discussion on grief, memory, and how to honor the animals who changed our lives forever.
