Episode Details

What if the most powerful credential in grief care isn’t a license, but a life? We sit down with Terri, a grief companion and community builder, to unpack how showing up—consistently, vulnerably, and without polish—became the engine of a mission-driven practice. From the early days of obscurity to becoming “that grief lady” people recognize in restaurants, Terri shares the slow, human work of building trust online, the courage to speak about failure in death care, and the reason lived experience can change how a room breathes.

Our nonprofit spotlight turns to Kitchen Table Conversations, founded by Garrick Colwell, offering accessible webinars on advanced care planning and anticipatory grief. Caregivers facing dementia or terminal illness often don’t realize what they’re feeling has a name; giving them language and tools is an act of relief and dignity. We close with a grounding breath, a playful word association game, and clear ways to connect with Terri, Tanya, and Shireen. If you believe empathy should lead the way in grief, caregiving, and end-of-life planning, this conversation will feel like a steady hand on your shoulder.
