This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Chanell, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and mental health advocate, for an important conversation about supporting children through grief and loss. 🤍

Together, we explore how grief can show up in children emotionally, mentally, and behaviorally — even when they don’t have the words to express what they’re feeling. We talk about practical ways to show love and support in everyday moments, how to recognize signs a child may be struggling, and what it looks like to help children build resilience while still honoring their emotions and experiences.

A gentle, meaningful conversation about healing, connection, and showing up for little hearts in big ways.

In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Gen to talk about grief within our family and how loss has impacted each of us in different ways. We share personal stories, reflect on the memories that continue to bring light into our lives, and talk about what it means to move forward while still holding space for those we’ve lost.

We also explore the beauty of welcoming new life and how hope can exist alongside grief. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry both love and loss together.

In part one of this two part series, I talk with my former coach, Katie, about loss, grief, and the profound impact of those who shape our lives. From losing parents to mentors, we discuss how support systems help us navigate life's emotional rollercoaster and ways to honor those no longer with us.

In Chapter 8, I sit down with Madeline as we talk about the loss of her dad and the reality of navigating grief at a young age. We open up about the guilt that can come with grief and how it shapes the way we show up in our relationships.

We also share how our faith has grounded us through the hardest moments and reflect on the idea that grief doesn’t always have to feel so heavy. There can be space for memories, connection, and even lightness along the way.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of grief or questioned how to carry it, this conversation is for you.

In this solo episode, Eliza reflects on the complicated emotions that come with celebrating life's milestones. Birthdays, holidays, and other special moments can feel different after losing someone you love. This episode is a reminder that it's okay if celebrations look different now.

In this episode, we sit down with my friend Stef to talk about losing our dads and what grief really looks like in the beginning. Messy, uncertain, and full of trial and error.

We chat honestly about balancing loss, love and the reality of figuring it out one day at a time.

In this episode, we sit down with my friend, McKinlay, to talk about the deep connection between love and sacrifice as she shares her story of losing her sister. She opens up about the grief that followed, the memories she holds close, and how love continues even after loss.
