September 19, 2023 Living with anger and grief.
Welcome to season six! It feels so good to be back.

To kick start the season I'm unpacking anger and grief and what it was like for me to live with it (and still do). I'm dishing up all I've learnt and continue to learn about living with anger as a part of my grief and as always, we hear from The Grief Gang community too.

Big love,

Welcome to another sneaky bonus episode. I can't stay away during a podcast break can I!

In this very short and sweet ep, I'm sharing how I feel about my mums birthday approaching next week. How I've survived the previous 8 and what I do to implement some self care when navigating these tough griefy days!

Big love and see you in Season Six soon!

June 06, 2023 We need to talk about the surviving parent...With Psychotherapist Julia Samuel MBE.
In today's episode I am speaking with leading Psychotherapist, Julia Samuel MBE.
If you're involved in the grief online world, you'll definitely have come across Julia and her brilliant committed work as a Psychotherapist. I've come to know and befriend Julia over the years and she felt like the only person I felt comfortable with to have this big, big conversation.

I'll be dead honest, this episode is completely raw for me. Today we're talking about the surviving parent and the complexities that can lie ahead when they find love again. I've got my own and very current experience on this, and in this episode, I'm peeling back the layers of it with Julia.

It's brutally honest and I'm really wearing my heart on my sleeve. As always, Julia left me and I hope you too, with so much to think about and reflect on when it comes to navigating this experience. From learning to give myself self compassion, listening to the logical and illogical side of our brain and understanding that when a parent moving on in a relationship can feel like another loss and that it's not something to laugh off about (As I do many, many times in this ep)

Thank you Julia for basically giving me a free therapy session lol, but for genuinely holding my heart and truly listening to me. I didn't know how much I needed this conversation.

Find Julia and her work here.

Big love,
Amber xxx

May 02, 2023 Grieving for the years living with addiction with Katrina Weller.
This week I'm speaking with friend Katrina Weller, Founder and director of Grow With Grief. Through workshops, seminars and community events, Katrina is creating a space for all forms of grief to be witnessed, validated and acknowledged.

In today's episode, Katrina talks us through her experience and struggle with alcohol addiction after her mum died when she was 15. We explore in this episode the grief that can be attached to those years of living with an addiction and how to process and heal it. Katrina shares with us some of the consequences of her addiction and how she came to wanting to change her life for the better. It's a hugely inspiring episode and I'm so proud to share Katrina's story with you today.

Find and work with Katrina here.

Big love,
