  • Anniversaries: Marking Milestones
    Jul 17 2025

    Some dates live on in our bodies, minds, and hearts. Whether it’s recognizing a birth, a loss, a wedding, or a tragedy, anniversaries can be time-stamped reminders of who we are, where we’re headed, what we’ve learned, and what we’ve lost. In this episode we talk about how grief can echo across generations, and how rituals and reflection can help us navigate the emotional terrain of significant dates.

    We’d love to hear about your anniversary practices, celebrations, and rituals. Email us at withupodcast@gmail.com.
