When Grief Lives In The Body
Welcome back to my podcast, Espresso with Coops.
Season 3, baby!
If you’ve listened to previous seasons, you’ll know I’ve often touched on grief, sometimes directly, sometimes at the edges. This season, I wanted to slow it down and sit with it properly.
Because grief doesn’t just arrive through bereavement. It shows up in break-ups, in diagnoses, in identity shifts, in the losses we don’t always name — and I hear this again and again from my clients. Often, it’s only when a light is gently shone on it that people realise this is grief.
So in Season 3, I’m getting a little closer. I’ll be sharing some of my own experiences of grief and loss and holding space for the many ways it can live in our bodies, relationships, and lives.
The format remains the same—short, honest, and gentle. My hope is that each episode offers you something to recognise yourself in. If it does, you’re welcome to share it with someone who might need it, too.
Episode 18: When Grief Lives in the Body
Grief isn’t only something we think about; it’s something the body carries.
In this final episode of the season, I explore how loss lives beyond our thoughts, why grief often shows up physically, and how small acts of regulation and self-soothing can help us gently move alongside it.
🎶 Musical snack: Whisper Of A Thrill by Thomas Newman.
(A classical accompaniment to sit with after listening. Not in the episode, just something to stir the soul.)
