In this final episode of the year, I sit down with my dear friend Eileen for a conversation that is honest, tender, and deeply human.

Years ago, Eileen’s life was forever changed when her father was killed during a home invasion in Philadelphia, a traumatic loss that shattered her sense of safety and altered the way she moved through the world. In this episode, she shares what it was like to live with that kind of grief, fear, and unresolved shock.

What makes this conversation even more sacred is that just weeks after recording, Eileen lost her husband unexpectedly.

This episode is not about shock or tragedy, it’s about love, survival, and the quiet strength it takes to keep breathing after life breaks you open more than once. It’s about the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve, but reshapes you.

If you’ve ever experienced layered loss, sudden trauma, or the feeling that your world changed in an instant, you are not alone.

This conversation is held with care.

In this episode of Trusting Grief, Tami sits down with Michael from Fiveway Fitness for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about the way our bodies hold tension, emotion, and unspoken experiences.

Michael shares how movement, strength work, and simple awareness can reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, why certain muscles feel “stuck,” why some areas overcompensate, and how unresolved stress can live inside our tissues without us realizing it.

This episode explores:

• how the body reflects emotional and physical stress

• why certain muscles shut down or tighten up

• the power of mindful, intentional movement

• how slowing down helps the body release what it’s been holding

• small, practical ways to reconnect to your body

  
  

This conversation isn’t clinical or complicated, it’s human.
It’s about learning to listen to your body with curiosity instead of frustration, and finding healing through the simple act of paying attention.
