In this deeply insightful episode, Sarah welcomes Kendra Rinaldi, an intuitive grief guide and the creator of the Grief, Gratitude, and the Gray In Between podcast. Together, they explore the complex and nuanced space where grief and gratitude coexist, particularly in the realm of motherhood. Kendra shares her personal experiences of loss—the deaths of her sister, mother, and unborn child—and how these profound experiences have shaped her approach to grief and healing. She and Sarah discuss the cultural norms surrounding grief, the duality of emotions in motherhood, and the importance of honoring both loss and transformation.
