Can I date after experiencing this deep loss? Am I ready? Can I be open? Will I be a great partner? Will I randomly start crying?

These are some questions you may ask yourself while considering to date again, I know that I definitely did! It was weird to me... the idea of love when I wasn't in the right space to even think properly. I knew that this was an area that I still wanted fulfilled and I would not have known that I could date, if I didn't try. ( I still am working on this too! Step by Step!)

STGG Presents: The Grief Series

To keep the integrity and authenticity of the show, it was only right that I start with grief, as this is what kept me away. I struggled with wanting to start the new season with this topic, but truthfully there is never a perfect time to discuss loss.

I decided to curate The Grief Series in 4 parts, and for the next 4 weeks we will explore the many areas and emotions that may occur around this topic. I wanted to ensure that I was vulnerable and informative, but still wanted to keep it light enough to digest. It is my great intention that you find value and hope after listening to each episode.

In this episode we will explore:

The goal is to create a safe space for such a difficult part of life that we all have to go through, and I hope that you are able to resonate and leave with something that comforts your perspective. Listening to this episode is a great way to start or feed your healing...I'm proud of you.
