The Undoing

When Grief Shows Up Uninvited


Listen Later

Nobody warns you that grief lives in battery drawers. Or that it'll wait patiently for a completely ordinary moment to knock you flat. This episode is me getting honest about carrying loss while still trying to show up for your life, why self-care is not a buzzword when you're grieving, and how you can be the most powerful person in the room and still need a good cry in your car. Just me? Cool, come listen anyway.

Stay Curious.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY
- Grief doesn't follow a timeline. It shows up in the middle of a Tuesday.
- You can check every box of "doing okay" and still get knocked sideways.
- Funerals do something for us that we don't let ourselves name.
- Checking on people isn't charity. It's just good humanity.
- You're allowed to be powerful and tender at the same time.
