About this listen

What happens when the life you’re born into isn’t the life you choose to live?

In this episode of The Grief Between Us, Patti sits with Jullian to explore what it means to grow up in instability, experience loss, and still choose a different path forward.

Jullian shares her story of being removed from her parents’ home as a child, navigating the transition to living with her grandparents, and the complexity of growing up in a family shaped by addiction, separation, and change. She reflects on the grief of what wasn’t given, alongside the deep love and connection that became her foundation.

This conversation also explores the loss of her father later in life, the process of forgiveness, and how grief can resurface in different seasons. Through it all, Jullian speaks to the power of choosing who you become, finding strength in your roots, and recognizing that even after life’s hardest fires, something within you can survive and grow.

If you’ve ever felt defined by where you came from, or wondered if a different life is possible, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective.

The Grief Between Us is part of The Waiting Place, a non-profit dedicated to supporting those navigating grief and loss.
