About this listen

Three millennial gals normalize talking about grief. Having each experienced a big loss, we know life isn’t always a tragic place with the sad movie music playing in the background. We can cry, but we can laugh too! Whether it’s work, friendships, dating, or other everyday encounters, grief somehow finds a way to sneak in, but we hope this podcast lets you feel less alone and less uncertain speaking about it. So grab a cup of coffee (or a drink), go on a walk, throw it on in the car–we think grief conversations can actually be that casual–so let’s talk about it and go through it all together.
