About this listen
What happens when grief becomes the starting point for real human connection rather than something to hide away from?
In this episode, we sit down with Ben, co-founder of The New Normal, a charity providing free, non-judgmental peer-to-peer support for people navigating grief and mental health. What began with one conversation between two young men - bonded by the loss of their fathers - has grown into a thriving community built on honesty, compassion and shared experience.
Ben reflects on the origins of The New Normal, the power of creating spaces where people feel seen and heard, and why community can transform the way we move through loss.
What You’ll Learn
Connection Through Grief: How shared experiences can create powerful, lasting bonds.
Building Community: Why peer support can be a lifeline for people navigating loss.
Embracing Mortality: Why accepting death can help us live more fully in the present.
This conversation is a reminder that grief doesn’t have to be faced alone and that from the hardest moments, the most extraordinary communities can emerge.
