In the Spring of 2021, my producer, Caitlin, and I began planning the launch of this podcast. At the same time, her aunt was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. For the past four years, we have produced dozens of episodes as Caitlin’s aunt Diane fought to make it to an important milestone: her younger son’s high school graduation. On May 23rd, 2025, Diane passed away 12 hours after graduation, and for the first time ever, Caitlin agreed to step out from behind the curtain and sit behind the mic herself to share her family’s story.

It is a story of sacrifice, relentlessness, and deep love - all things that Diane demonstrated with so much fight and stubbornness in her final years. Caitlin shares how we can show up for each other during tough times, the ways her aunt inspires her work and future goals, and the importance of family - the family we’re related to and the family we choose.

Caitlin and Jenn also announce the end of the podcast this November and how they plan to honor and memorialize a show that has opened up so many important conversations around grief.

“Laughter is the best medicine” may seem like just a common cliche, but humor and levity can be powerful tools when it comes to caring for aging family members. In this episode, Jenn is joined by Howard Miller, the author of Burdens and Blessings, to discuss the lessons he learned while caring for his parents who lived into their nineties. Howard shares so many lovely examples of humor found through grief and challenging times, discusses navigating sibling relationships while caregiving, and key tips for determining what we and our loved ones want for their care as they grow old or face health issues. One of the key messages of this episodes is bringing empathy to caregiving as we realize the vast loss our parents are experiencing - the loss of people, physical and mental capabilities, and more. By putting ourselves in their shoes and giving them as much agency as possible, we can help our parents and ourselves find more joy and comfort in their later years.

In mythology, the phoenix is a bird that rises from the ashes in a blaze of fire.

Angela speaks to the transition from the hardness of fresh grief to softening into those emotions through connection and creativity, tips for letting go of perfectionism, and the power of putting ourselves into creative spaces for healing and inspiration. Angela and Jenn both push listeners to courage stack: to take one brave baby step at a time until you have achieved your goals. Listen for heaps of encouragement in your grief and creative journey.

After loss we get to choose. We can choose to implode, wither, and let the grief drag us down. Or we can choose to heal, create, honor what we have lost, and live life more fully. Tech wizard and author Diandra Ford-Wing joins Jenn to share how after the loss of her aunt, her mother weakened and lost hope before dying just a few months later. This experience combined with only receiving 3 days off of work after her mom’s death led Diandra to quit her job, drop everything, and travel the world with her husband as part of a journey to properly mourn and heal.

She tells the powerful story of writing her book Red Bird along with her mom in the months leading up to her death and how that process truly honors the women she lost and transformed her along the way. Choosing to live life to the fullest has truly brought her so much beauty and opportunity. Listen to this episode for an opportunity to pause and reflect on the challenges and losses you are currently facing so that you can face them with a full cup.
