In the final episode of Season 2, Shoshana sits down with her friend Alexandra Breckenridge — known to many as Mel Monroe from the hit Netflix series Virgin River. Alex has experienced many losses, on and off the screen, and she shares her experience as a way of letting others know that they’re not alone in their grief.

Shoshana also speaks with Dr. Wendy Lichtenthal, a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people navigate loss. Wendy doesn’t view grief as something you “move past,” but as something you learn to live alongside — something that shifts, reshapes, and evolves as you do.

Nikki Boyer is probably best known for the podcast and Hulu series Dying for Sex, which follows her best friend, Molly, as she faces losing her life to cancer. But while Molly’s life was coming to an end, Nikki was trying to create a life. Nikki shares her story of the heartbreaking loss of multiple miscarriages.

Dr. Jessica Zucker is a psychologist in Los Angeles who has counseled many women – like Nikki – as they grieved children who would never be born. And then one day, it happened to her. Jessica says that we need to rethink the way we view – and talk about – miscarriage.

Dr. BJ Miller was a college sophomore when a sudden electrical accident nearly took his life. After months in a hospital burn unit and multiple amputations, he emerged into a world that saw him — and treated him — differently. But that experience became the foundation for everything that followed.

Now a palliative care physician and one of the most compassionate voices in medicine, BJ is redefining what it means to live fully after loss and change. He challenges the very idea of “normal,” reminding us that disability isn’t a flaw to fix, but part of the human spectrum. His work invites us to expand our imagination of what it means to be alive, to belong, and to be whole.
