    Host Amie, shares an unscripted, personal account of her banner year — the sudden death of her mom, her father’s near fatal accident, a rapid wedding, and the identity shifts of grad school and moving during a pandemic. She explores grief brain fog, vulnerability, and learning to carry what shapes us. Amie explains why she started the podcast: to invite honest conversations about loss and living, to create space for being seen, and to remind listeners to be gentle with what they carry.

    Ep. 2 The Tightrope
    Jan 21 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with my Dad to talk about what it’s been like to keep living after the death of my mom- his wife. We talk about grief that doesn’t follow timelines, the tension between honouring the past and moving forward, and how loss continues to shape our identities, relationships, and choices over time. This conversation isn’t about having answers or doing grief “right”, but about the reality of carrying love and loss together as life keeps unfolding. If you’re navigating grief, major change, or a life that looks different than you imagined, you’re not alone.
