Grief doesn’t just change our lives—it changes us.
In this deeply personal episode, I share something I wish someone had told me after losing my son, Harry: that one day I would look in the mirror and realise I wasn’t the same person anymore.
For years, I thought healing meant finding my way back to the person I used to be. Instead, I discovered that grief wasn’t asking me to go backwards—it was gently inviting me forwards.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Why grief changes who we are
- The hidden grief of losing your former self
- How trauma reshapes our brain, nervous system and priorities
- The difference between moving on and carrying our loved one with us
- Finding meaning without believing grief is a gift
- The beautiful Japanese art of Kintsugi and what it teaches us about healing
If you’ve ever wondered, “Will I ever be me again?” this episode is for you.
Because perhaps the question isn’t who you were before your loss…
Perhaps it’s who you’re becoming because you loved them.
💛 This episode is dedicated to Harry, and to every life deeply loved.
If this conversation resonates with you, I’d be so grateful if you’d follow the podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who may need to hear they’re not broken—they’re becoming.
Until next time, be gentle with yourself.
