In this episode I talk with comedian and fellow podcaster Andrew Steiner! We talk the difficulty we can have in feeling as though we are properly expressing our grief, and how to deal with our struggles when everyone we know only shares their successes. We also talk about the ways in which we prioritize content creation versus promotion, and the power of passion projects.

Huzzah! This is the first episode I actually recorded after a 3 month hiatus, and also the first episode I've done where we don't deal with the loss of a person, but rather the loss of a whole way of life, of BEING. It felt appropriate to start up again by talking with my good friend Michael Wasserman, a teacher (among other things) who had already been trying to put his life back together when the pandemic hit. We talk about the nature of grief itself, and the different ways that we are all experiencing a sense of loss over the past year.

In this episode I interview comedian and fellow podcaster Jenn Welch! After the death of her father, Jenn found her own ways of coping by being open and creative about her loss. We talk about her Dead Dad Tinder account, and the impact it can have when we take ownership of our own issues. We also talk about how great it is to have a community that welcomes expression, even when it's not funny.

In this episode, I interview Author and fellow bereavement speaker Allison Gilbert! After losing both of her parents at a young age, Allison found solace in being able to tell her story of overcoming the depths of her grief, and in helping others find their own path as well. We talk about the importance of community, and how just being genuine with people, even when dealing with them on a professional level, can create lasting bonds and new perspectives.

Hello to 2021! What a crazy year it has been for all of us. In addition to the pandemic fatigue we are all collectively feeling, life and death continue to go on. I wanted to take this opportunity to check in on myself and bring you up to speed on how the podcast is going, and the resources that are out there should you need more. 

After a brief hiatus, and dealing with some fresh personal grief of my own, I am back at it with new episodes!

Huzzah! In this episode, I finally sat down for a full hour with my good friend Luciana Rossi!  A registered nurse, and a fellow bereaved sibling, Luci and I met over a decade ago at The Compassionate Friends (TCF) national conference. Luci lost her brother Doug when she was a baby, and her other brother Tony in 2009. She has become a much needed voice in the bereavement community, a leader in the TCF world, and a trusted friend and confidant to me over the years. I am very honored to have her in my life!

In this episode, I interview comedian and improv performer Ronny Pasquale! It's been 15 years since Ronny's mother died at the age of 39, when Ronny himself was just 20. He has since managed to combine parts of his pain with his love of dead-mother jokes as a way to cope with the difficult parts of life without her. 

We talk about how important being about to have tough conversations can be, as well as just how tough it can be to write jokes about topics the audience might be trying NOT to think about.

I don't know who NEEDS to hear this episode right now, but I hope it's a lot! Here's my interview with comedian Myq Kaplan, who manages to create humor out of the intersection of wordplay and philosophy. Enjoy an in depth discussion about the ways that human nature has us alternately hide/express our true feelings, and the power of truly connecting with other humans.

In this episode, I sat down to talk with Ken Levy and Sam Feldman, two of the founders of The National Widowers Organization. Having each lost their wives, both Sam and Ken struggled to find a place where widowers (and men in general) were allowed to be vulnerable and open about their feelings, leading to them stepping up to help others while helping themselves.

In this episode, I welcome fellow grief podcaster, Jayme Ails!

After the death of her mother to cancer 4 years ago, Jayme struggled to find her way, and ultimately started a podcast about grief (and how the fuck to deal with it) called Grief Unfiltered! We talk about the importance of semantics, and of cutting through the BS to get to a real conversation, especially about difficult topics.
