    Ep. 2 The Tightrope
    Jan 21 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with my Dad to talk about what it’s been like to keep living after the death of my mom- his wife. We talk about grief that doesn’t follow timelines, the tension between honouring the past and moving forward, and how loss continues to shape our identities, relationships, and choices over time. This conversation isn’t about having answers or doing grief “right”, but about the reality of carrying love and loss together as life keeps unfolding. If you’re navigating grief, major change, or a life that looks different than you imagined, you’re not alone.

    Jan 7 2026
    In this first solo episode of What We Carry, I reflect on what I’ve learned through grief, loss, anxiety, and the moments that quietly reshape us. After my mom died, I found myself asking a question I couldn’t escape: What is the point of life when pain and loss are unavoidable? This episode is about living with unanswered questions, learning to carry what shapes us, and letting the full range of human emotion exist without trying to fix or outrun it. It’s about meaning rather than happiness, coexistence rather than closure, and choosing not to carry our pain alone. If you’re entering a new season feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or changed by something you didn’t choose, this conversation is for you.

    I'm Amie, a therapist specializing in relationships, trauma, and grief. In What We Carry, we slow down to talk honestly about the human experience and how we learn to live alongside pain, loss, love, and quiet joy.

    Sometimes I welcome guests who share their stories; sometimes I reflect from my 12+ years in social work and my own hard seasons. This podcast is for anyone learning to set down armor and live a life that feels meaningful. New episodes every other Wednesday.
