About this listen

In this deeply moving episode of Simple Healthy Life, we sit down with grief recovery specialist and mental health counselor Julie Foster to explore the untold truths about grief.


Julie shares her powerful story of caregiving for her mother with terminal cancer, her health collapse due to unprocessed grief, and the transformative healing she found through the Grief Recovery Method.


Together, we unpack what it means to grieve someone who's still alive, why society is "grief-illiterate," how shame complicates healing, and the subtle ways grief hides in our daily behaviors.


Whether you’ve recently experienced a loss or are carrying years of silent sorrow, this episode offers validation, insight, and a path toward wholeness.
