Grief doesn’t only arrive with death. It shows up anytime life asks us to let go ... of a role, a relationship, a version of ourselves, or the life we thought we were living.

In this episode, Amy is joined by Angela Clement for an honest, compassionate conversation about grief as a natural and necessary process of being human. Together, they explore how grief weaves through change, illness, caretaking, and transitions, and why so many of us struggle because we were never taught how to feel our emotions safely.

They talk about what happens when emotions are suppressed instead of expressed, why allowing feelings to move through the body can be profoundly healing, and how grief doesn’t mean you’ll be stuck forever. It means something mattered.

This episode also shines a light on the often-overlooked experience of caretakers; how easily identity can disappear inside the role, and why caretaking is something you do, not who you are. Amy and Angela offer practical, tender guidance for both those who are grieving and those who want to support someone without trying to fix them.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why grief extends far beyond death

• How emotions are meant to move through us, not be buried within us

• Healthy, accessible ways to release emotions without overwhelm

• The hidden grief caretakers carry, and why they need support too

• How to truly support someone who is grieving (without clichés)

• Why joy is still possible, even after deep loss

If you’re grieving a change, caring for someone else, or learning how to finally let yourself feel what you’ve been holding in, this conversation offers reassurance, language, and permission.

Grief isn’t a problem to solve. It’s a process that helps us heal, integrate, and eventually make room for joy again.
