Welcome to season 7!
In this episode, I'm diving into the journey of navigating the year of firsts after the death of my friend, Poppy. I explore how grief impacts our personal and professional lives, the ways disassociation can emerge as a coping mechanism and can actually be beneficial, and the unexpected lessons I've learned in healing and personal growth. You’ll also hear for the first time on the podcast what it has been like starting a business in the midst of the most emotionally weighted time of my life.
Key Topics Covered:
•Grief and the “Year of Firsts”: What navigating the year of firsts has been like for me, even with 8 years of grief under my belt already. My unexpected pleasant experience of Poppy's 1 year anniversary and what it has taught me, once again.
•Coping with Disassociation: Understanding and sharing how disassociation as a coping mechanism during intense grief has kept me afloat and it's positives to me.
•Building a Business During Grief: My insight into starting a business while navigating personal loss.
It feels really good to be back and I hope you enjoy this episode and the season ahead!
Big love,

I'm back with a lil bonus ep for your ears. In this bonus episode I'm giving you a recap on this summer and what I've been navigating. As a family, we celebrated the wedding of my older brother and what would be our Mum's 60th birthday...it's been quite the summer.
I hope this episode can give you a small insight into what it's like to navigate such milestones and perhaps give you a little bit of hope that it all might be okay in the end.
Events mentioned in the episode:
if we don’t laugh in conversation with The Grief Gang and Suicide&Co- Wednesday 25th September at Feel Good Club Manchester.

This week, I'm talking about getting older than your loved one who died.
It's been a topic that has come up most recently in my group circles and when sharing this with TGG community, it seemed to be something that was on their brains too. It can be a hugely daunting and unknown feeling reaching the age your person died. These are years and ages they have never seen, how do we hold and navigate that? Listen to this episode to hear directly how TGG audience do and what their experiences are.

Join me for a rogue, stompy, out of breath griefy walk. I decided to pick up the phone, head out and just record. Enjoy the waffle as I fill you in on where I'm at with grief at this present moment. I hope you enjoy it! (and the sounds of nature too)

This week, I'm speaking with End of Life Doula, Anna Lyons.
Anna also fronts the incredible online platform Life, Death, Whatever which was one of the first accounts I came across when I started Grief Gang! In this episode, Anna shares with us what brought her to this line of work, what is the role of an end of life doula and why we find as a society talking about death so difficult.
Talking about death and dying isn't as bad as we think it is, we all just need a little support in it. I hope this episode can provide some of that!

This week I'm speaking with Dan Fischer, founder of One Last Wave Project.
Dan's project caught my eye some years back and I've been besotted ever since. After Dan's father died, he turned to their shared love of adventure and nature. One day, Dan stuck a sticky note to a surf board with his father's name on it and the lightbulb moment happened. That experience for Dan was so transformative and connecting that he shared it with the world, and the world responded back. One Last Wave Project was born.
I'll let Dan do the talking on it's origin story and all the heartwarming encounters he has had with the growth of the project. It's truly unbelievable.
Find OLWP on Instagram here and their website here to have your loved ones name on a future board.

This week I'm talking about anticipatory grief. It's been a topic I've wanted to cover for some time, but never quite found the words to share my experience with it. I hope this episode can make all those who resonate with it be seen and heard in their experience!

I personally have taken so much from this episode for my own wellbeing so I hope you can too.

For this weeks episode, I'm talking about feeling like I made my loved ones up! It might sound bonkers I know, but I doubt I'm alone in this.
Have you ever felt like you made your loved one up? Like they weren't really real? Perhaps like a dream, or part of a story book? Then this is the episode for you. I'm sharing my own experiences on this and hopefully it can bring you some comfort that you're not alone.
Big love,

In this weeks bonus episode, I'm thinking about the end. That's right, the end of our lives! I promise, it's not as morbid as you think. I'm sharing how when we live with the end in mind, how it can actually make us think about how we live, truly. How you can get started documenting what you might or might not want and why it's important to!

This week I'm speaking with Jane Harris, Co-Founder of The Good Grief Project.
I've known Jane and her husband Jimmy for some years now, ever since I started The Grief Gang really. It has been long overdue getting Jane onto the podcast, but here we are. Jane and Jimmy's story is rooted in the grief for their son, Joshua, who died unexpectedly aged 22 in a motorbike accident whilst travelling in Vietnam.
Since then, the breadth of Jane and Jimmy's work is extensive and so moving, all in the name of their son Joshua and to help other bereaved parents and siblings. Jane in this episode offers both a personal and professional perspective to what it is like navigating grief for an older child, whilst also being a therapist. How both Jane and Jimmy knew the importance of community very early on in their grief, especially regarding planning Joshua's funeral. And what it's like raising children whilst grieving for a child too.
Jane and Jimmy work tirelessly to support other bereaved families, their retreats are a balm for all those who need them. To support their work, find out more and buy their book, please visit their website here.

In this bonus episode I'm sharing why I believe we need community in grief and more so why we are DESERVING of it. How to immerse yourself into community if you're thinking about it and what community can do for you and your grief.
