Friendships change as people grow, and those shifts can bring up grief, confusion, frustration, or fear.In this episode, we unpack how growth, life transitions, shifting values, and changing capacity can create tension in friendships, and why our first instinct is often to fix, judge, withdraw, or take it personally. We talk about how asking better questions, staying open instead of defensive, and making space for both grief and care can help friendships adapt rather than fall apart. The goal is not to force the relationship back to what it was, but to navigate change in a way that protects both connection and individuality.

Jase spots a bug crawling in a stranger's hair and steps in to remove it himself, triggering a mix of relief, shock, and secondhand embarrassment. Al and Zach join Jase's attempt to detect a subtle message from a Pink Floyd hit about who—or what—is really influencing us. The guys lay out a clear, practical litmus test for recognizing false prophets, especially when faith starts to look more like a business than truth. They confront the real damage that can be done when spiritual voices miss the moment people need them most, and how to hold onto what's real when everything else feels twisted.

Grief hit me like a tidal wave, even with all my knowledge of the spirit world. This week, I'm talking with Samantha Rose, a ghostwriter for a famous medium, who lost her mother to suicide. She shares how she used her professional skills to reconnect with her mom through dreams and automatic writing, finding a way to forgive her and, ultimately, herself. This is a powerful conversation about the masks we wear, the courage to ask for help, and the profound realization that love doesn't end when a life does. 00:00 – A Ghostwriter's Sudden Loss 04:11 – The Phone Call That Changed Everything 08:47 – Grieving a Suicide: The Unanswered Questions 13:52 – From Ghostwriter to Connecting with Spirits 18:20 – Finding Answers Through Writing 24:31 – Giving Up My Own Ghost 26:46 – Understanding Her Mother's Pain 33:09 – The Dream Dialogue: Letting Go 37:50 – Keeping Their Memory Alive 42:15 – Co-Writing a Book Across the Veil 44:14 – We All Have Access to Loved Ones 46:45 – Life After Giving Up the Ghost LEARN MORE ABOUT SAMANTHA ROSEhttps://www.amazon.com/Books-Samantha-Rose-Rebecca-Rosen/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ASamantha%2BRose%2BRebecca%2BRosen JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you'll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

Shelby Forsythia is well acquainted with grief. After a series of losses that started in her late teens and culminated in the death of her mother from cancer, Shelby became an expert in avoiding and outrunning her grief. Then, an incident with a stolen wallet broke through that avoidance; in the aftermath of letting those feelings out, she realized she needed to give herself permission to grieve. Since then, Shelby's done so much in the realm of grief support—as a coach, author, and host of the Grief Grower podcast. Shelby's newest book, Of Course, I'm Here, Right Now, written for friends, family, and community members, provides answers to the ubiquitous question: "What do I say to someone who is grieving?" We discuss: The "four years of hell" when Shelby experienced multiple losses. The stolen wallet incident and the loud, messy grief eruption that followed. Why people fear falling into the abyss of grief if they start crying. Three stories people who are grieving tell themselves. The three phrases that help dismantle those unhelpful stories. What people said after Shelby's mom died vs. what they said after her best friend Tami died. How to start the conversation with someone who is grieving. Connect with Shelby Forsythia: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/ Her latest book, Of Course, I'm Here, Right Now, is out on 3.31.26.

Natalie Tealdi from The Best Podcast Guest team welcomes death doula, end-of-life educator, transformational soul coach, author and national advocate for grief literacy, Julie Wright Halbert to the podcast.They talk about:The role of a death doulaWhat it means to live and die awakeWhat grieving people truly need from othersAbout Julie Wright HalbertJulie Wright Halbert, Esq. is a death doula, end-of-life educator, transformational soul coach, author and national advocate for grief literacy whose work bridges legal rigor, lived experience, and soul-centered presence.A former Legislative Counsel for the Council of the Great City Schools, Julie spent decades shaping education policy and advancing civil rights, earning multiple honors including the Education Law Association's Best Brief Award for impactful work before the U.S. Supreme Court.Julie's professional path pivoted following the sudden death of her husband, an experience that transformed her relationship to grief, identity, and meaning. What emerged was a calling to accompany individuals and families through the complex terrain of dying, death, and bereavement work that emphasizes presence over fixing, honesty over platitudes, and dignity at every stage of life.Today, Julie speaks and writes about death literacy, widowhood, emotional integration, and the cultural consequences of avoiding mortality. Her work invites individuals, professionals, and institutions to engage death not as a failure, but as a profound human threshold that shapes how we live, love, and lead.Julie is the founder of Rising Phoenix LIFE, where she integrates end-of-life education, grief support, and advocacy to support people navigating life's most significant transitions. She is the author of the forthcoming book Divine Ashes Ascending, which explores grief, presence, and the possibility of meaning after profound loss.Julie's work has been featured in: The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, NPR, Education Week, and The 74.She lives a life grounded in nature and connection, finding restoration through water activities, hiking, snow skiing, and time with her two sons and life partner.Key TakeawaysLoss reshapes our identity and the way we move through the world. While grief never truly disappears, we can learn to carry it with meaning and compassion. Living 'awake' means being fully present in each moment, approaching life with intention, gratitude, and connection. Grieving can feel isolating, but healing often begins when we allow others to support us and accept help from our community. Many cultures avoid conversations about death, yet openness around the end of life can help reduce fear and create more meaningful experiences for individuals and families. Death doulas support people emotionally, spiritually, and practically at the end of life, helping individuals plan how they wish to experience their final stage of life.QuoteGrief doesn't just end. It's something that we carry and we learn to move into presence.Connect with Julie Wright HalbertWebsite: www.RisingPhoenix.lifeInstagram: instagram.com/transformational_soul_coachingLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julie-wright-halbertJulie's free gift to you is a meditation which is designed to support growth, clarity, and emotional alignment.

Labor Pains: Dealing with infertility and loss during pregnancy or infancy.
Why do we miss someone who hurt us?In this deeply honest episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, hosts LaWayna Berry and Teresa Reiniger explore one of the most confusing layers of grief: grieving someone who caused you pain.Leaving a relationship that isn't healthy should feel like freedom — but often it doesn't. It can feel like loss, heartbreak, and the death of the future you thought you would have. LaWayna shares her personal story of divorce, trauma bonding, and the painful realization that love and harm can exist in the same relationship. Together, she and Teresa unpack the emotional complexity of attachment, the grief of lost dreams, and why protecting yourself doesn't mean you didn't love deeply.If you've ever questioned why leaving still hurts, or why you miss someone who didn't treat you well, this conversation will remind you that your grief is valid — and you're not alone.
In this episode, we engage in a heartfelt discussion on grief, loss, and the bhakti (devotional) response to pain. We explore how grief is experienced and integrated within the bhakti tradition, emphasising the importance of feeling and honouring grief rather than suppressing it. Through personal stories and spiritual insights, we highlight how grief can be transformed into devotion, gratitude, and a deeper spiritual connection, offering listeners compassionate guidance on navigating loss as a sacred part of the spiritual journey.00:00 Introduction to Grief and Bhakti04:22 Offering Grief as Devotion09:07 Processing Loss and Spiritual Connection12:52 Broader Definitions of Grief17:40 Gratitude as a Tool for Processing Grief19:42 Grieving the Old Self and Identity24:45 Dying with Grace and Spiritual Preparation25:57 Soul Seeds: Witnessing and GratitudeWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa
Alix & Kayla dive into one of the most requested topics from the Sister Wives community: the experience of bi women in relationships with male partners. After asking their audience for stories and questions, they unpack everything from “allowed cheating” dynamics and open relationships to the emotional reality of choosing monogamy when you're attracted to more than one gender. The conversation explores the complicated feelings that can come up in long-term relationships—like grieving parts of your identity, navigating attraction to others, and figuring out what honesty actually looks like in a committed partnership. They also discuss common assumptions people have about bisexual women, including threesomes, monogamy, and whether partners feel threatened by same-sex attraction. Through listener submissions and personal experiences, Alix & Kayla break down the nuances of bisexual identity, relationships, and the messy gray areas that rarely get talked about.01:40 – Marriage “Myth or Truth” Game 04:00 – Living & Recording in Nicaragua 06:30 – Relationship Habits & Fight Dynamics 10:20 – Today's Topic: Bi Women With Male Partners 11:00 – Is the Word “Female” Offensive? 12:00 – Questions From the Sister Wives Community 14:00 – Do Bi Women's Partners Support LGBTQ+ Rights? 15:10 – The Stereotypes: Threesomes & Open Relationships 16:20 – Listener Story: Open Marriage With Women Only 18:00 – What It's Like “Turning Off” Part of Your Identity 21:10 – The “Open Energy” of Being Single vs. Married 23:30 – Grieving a Lifestyle or Version of Yourself 26:30 – Attraction Outside of a Relationship 27:50 – “Allowed Cheating” With Women 30:00 – Do Men See Women as Less of a Threat? 39:30 – When an Old Flame Reaches Out 41:00 – Why Waiting Before Responding Matters 45:00 – Honesty vs. Protecting Your Partner's Feelings 53:30 – Is It Okay to Talk to Friends About Relationship Problems? 55:00 – Deal Breakers in Relationships
In this episode of The D Shift, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder sits down with Karen Omand, divorce and grief specialist, to talk about the often-overlooked grief that accompanies the end of a marriage. Karen brings both professional expertise and personal insight, drawing on her background in thanatology, the study of grief and loss, which she pursued after experiencing the sudden loss of her parents and navigating her own difficult divorce.Mardi and Karen explore how grief can appear in unexpected ways during divorce, including emotional overwhelm, cognitive fatigue, physical symptoms, and changes in relationships with friends and family. They also discuss why society tends to acknowledge grief after death but often minimizes the emotional impact of divorce.Topics covered include:• Why divorce can trigger grief responses similar to bereavement• The hidden losses people experience after separation• How identity, future plans, and even family pets can become part of the grieving process• Why many people feel unsupported during divorce• Practical ways to process grief and move forward with resilienceKaren also shares how journaling and narrative therapy can help individuals process their emotions while navigating the practical realities of divorce. She introduces her workbook Just Separated, a resource designed to help individuals address the emotional, legal, and financial transitions that follow the end of a marriage.About the Guest:Karen Omand is a divorce and grief specialist with degrees in Sociology and Thanatology—the study of grief and loss.

Genesis 4 Sermon Notes and Liturgy From this year's Lent series, The Story of Sin Sunday March 1st, 2026 Christ City Church
How do you make smart, grounded choices about egg freezing today that support whatever comes next – IVF, donor conception, or deciding not to pursue treatment at all? In this episode, reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Jaime Knopman joins Lisa to unpack the real numbers, timing, and trade‑offs so you can feel more empowered and less sold to. We talk honestly about when egg freezing makes sense, what “ideal before 35” actually means in real life, and why success rates are never higher than about 75% – no matter what the brochure says. Dr. Knopman explains how to think about lab quality, age, and medical factors, while Lisa brings in the emotional side of planning for the possibility of future IVF or donor conception. In this conversation, we cover: How to think about fertility planning in your 20s and 30s When to consider egg freezing or embryos – and when it may not be worth it The truth behind egg freezing success rates and “control is an illusion” Common myths about egg quality and what actually matters How today's decisions can shape later choices, including donor conception Why your lab and team are so important Chapters: 00:00 Empowering Fertility Planning 06:02 Navigating the Decision to Freeze Eggs or Embryos 11:56 Addressing Concerns About Egg Quality 17:57 Debunking Myths Around Egg Quality 23:44 Grieving and Acceptance in Fertility 29:39 The Importance of the Lab in Fertility Treatments If you're in fertility treatment, thinking about egg freezing, or considering donor conception and want more emotional support and education, you can find my workshops and membership at https://familybuilding.net/ Learn more about Dr. Jaime Knopman: https://drjaimeknopman.com/ Follow Dr. Jaime Knopman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjaimeknopman/ #fertilityjourney #eggfreezing #fertilityplanning #fertilityawareness #reproductivehealth #ivfjourney #donorconception #infertilitysupport #womenshealth #fertilityclinic

According to Matt Preston, he only has 14 more summers. And he’s determined to make the most of them.
Send a textOn this week's minisode, I'm talking about how one of the hardest parts of being single can be a quiet grief for the life you expected: the culturally prescribed path of meeting someone, marrying, and having kids. This particular kind of grief is often an understated pang triggered by friends' family milestones, but can coexist with genuine happiness, independence, and peace in a single, child-free life. Grief can also signal transition, and letting go of an outdated future while building a meaningful life that fits your present.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports President Trump Trump joins grieving families for the return of soldiers killed in war in the Middle East.
S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! A 24-year Army veteran races 28 hours to his soldier son's bedside and steps into a maze of tests, policies, and a life-or-death decision he never agreed to. Eddie Peoples recounts the night an apnea test was called “inconclusive,” the promised blood-flow study was dropped, and a brain death declaration arrived anyway—followed by a “family advocate” carrying a donor registry printout the family says does not reflect Keone's wishes.We walk through the ICU timeline in detail: early assurances that injuries looked survivable, abrupt scheduling and cancellations of critical exams, and the moment consent became the central battle. Eddie lays out why the family opposes organ donation on religious grounds, how two government IDs showed no donor designation, and why a no-signature, shifting-date registry record raised alarms. Along the way, we unpack how hospitals coordinate with organ procurement organizations, where state rules mandate notification, and why families so often feel the process becomes unstoppable once “donor” appears on a chart.This conversation goes beyond one case to surface the bigger issues: the ethics of brain death determinations under time pressure, the reliability of online donor registries, and the need for clear, verifiable consent. We share practical steps to protect your choices—advance directives, named proxies, consistent updates across DMV, military, and VA systems, and a dated video statement your family can present if records conflict. Whether you support organ donation or question its current safeguards, this story asks for transparency, accountability, and respect for patient autonomy when it matters most.If this moved you, subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your takeaways. Your voice can help more families document their wishes and avoid preventable turmoil.Support the showVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

After years of build up... We finally sit down in person with our good friend & Touché Amoré vocalist JEREMY BOLM in-person at The Pit Recording Studio. We talk all about Jeremy's upbringing in Burbank, CA, and how he went from Nirvana and Michael Jackson to Sepultura and Earth Crisis... From facing adversity growing up due to his unique speaking voice & his early bands, to finding the courage to sing for Touché Amoré, breaking down their entire discography, including their now 10 year old landmark "Stage Four", grieving to the masses via the albums lyrics, working with Ross Robinson, and much more. This is one of our most requested and anticipated guests of all time, by you and by us, and it lead to a conversation where I learned a lot about someone I've known for over 20 years.

This episode is for the woman who is quietly grieving something she hasn't given herself permission to fully feel. Not just the loss of a person — but the loss of a version of her life she had already planned out in her head. The relationship that was supposed to work. The career that was supposed to feel more fulfilling by now. The version of herself she thought she would be at this age.It gets personal — I'm sharing my own testimony of loss in life, my career and what happened when I finally stopped grieving what closed and trusted what God was opening. This one is raw, real and full of hope for every woman standing in the gap between who she was and who she is becoming.

What happens when your child shares something that shifts the future you thought you understood? In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie sits down with Kelly Kemp — certified child life specialist of more than 30 years and mom of three — to talk about navigating trust, grief, advocacy, and love after her child was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and came out as transgender. Kelly shares: The phone call that changed everything Navigating substance use and mental health concerns Grieving privately while choosing love publicly Rebuilding trust with her child Supporting siblings during a major transition Setting boundaries with extended family Finding affirming medical and mental health care Holding faith and parenting together during uncertainty This conversation is not about politics. It is about parenting inside a medical diagnosis. It is about trust. It is about grief that doesn't mean rejection. And it is about the steady, protective love that children need — especially when the world feels loud. Whether your child is navigating a medical diagnosis, identity development, or a season you didn't anticipate, this episode will remind you: Grief and love can coexist. Trust is foundational. And your child still needs you.

In this episode, I sit down with therapist, entrepreneur, retreat host, and fellow neurodivergent human Patrick Casale to talk about something we don't sugarcoat enough: autistic burnout, ADHD burnout, addiction, masking, and what happens when a “successful” life becomes unsustainable.Patrick has built an incredible career—international retreats, multiple podcasts, coaching programs, and a group practice—yet behind the scenes he's been navigating 18+ months of deep autistic burnout. We unpack the tension between ADHD-driven dopamine chasing and autism's need for sensory regulation, the grief that comes with saying no, and what it really means to honor your capacity. This one is raw, honest, and real.Patrick Casale, MA, LCMHC, is an AuDHD TEDx speaker, therapist, podcaster, and entrepreneur. He's the founder of All Things Private Practice LLC and Resilient Mind Counseling PLLC, a group practice in Asheville, NC.

Patrick lives in Asheville with his wife Ariel and their very neurotic (but lovable) Shih Tzu, Hudson. He loves travel, Lord of the Rings, Anthony Bourdain, red pandas, cold brew, and craft beer.

Grief touches every stage of life, and even the toddler years. It is okay, and often anexpression of His grace, toddlers are unable to process loss as an adult would. Children grow into grief, and even when their earliest years are marked by loss, God willnot leave them or forsake them.This episode gently walks alongside mothers raising toddlers experiencing the absence ofan earthly dad, helping them understand how young children process loss. Withcompassionate insight, practical guidance, biblical encouragement, and hope, it supportsmoms carrying their own grief while shepherding their children through this season.Key Takeaways:Toddlers do not grieve like adults. Repeated questions from your toddler reflect limitedunderstanding and an inability to process the loss. Extend grace to your little one and to yourselfRoutine, consistency, and gentle reassurance help restore a sense of safety for grieving toddlersMoms set the emotional tone and model trust in GodScripture Encouragement: Isaiah 40:11, Deuteronomy 1:30-31, Isaiah 46:4Other Resources:Anger in Grief Episode #204Where's Daddy?

The Grief No One Talks About in Trauma-Informed ParentingSometimes the hardest part of parenting isn't your child's behavior, it's the grief that rises up inside you. The grief of not getting what you needed. The grief of still healing while you're trying to parent intentionally. In this episode, we talk about the quiet, complicated grief that can come with parenting a child with a vulnerable nervous system when you have your own history of trauma.In this episode, you'll learn:The core griefs that often emerge when you're parenting with your own trauma historyWhy noticing intergenerational patterns can stir shameHow to be with your grief using self-compassion and a gentle “touch in, touch out” approachResources mentioned in this podcast:Podcast - Start Here!When Parenting Triggers Your Own Trauma: Part 1 of 6 {Ep 250}Read the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/grieftraumahistoryThe Club- you never wanted to join, but are SO glad when you do.

Hey friends, welcome back to Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation is tender, honest, and so needed.I'm joined by Tiffany Stein, who just released a brand-new book: Mourning God: Grieving Loss, Wrestling with God, and Finding Your Way Back to Life. And let me tell you — this episode is for anyone who has ever walked through grief, felt disoriented in their faith, or wondered, “God… where are You in this?”In this episode, Tiffany shares: • Life in Austin, Texas, and how she now gets to disciple nine-year-olds as a 4th grade teacher at a Christian private school • Her background in church ministry (including serving as a women's pastor) and what it looked like to walk with people toward Christ • Her personal “freedom journey” — from fearing a “righteous and angry God,” to slowly discovering God as loving, present, and safe • How seasons of depression, questioning, and searching shaped her faith (and why asking hard questions doesn't mean you're walking away from God)Tiffany's story of lossTiffany opens up about the devastating loss of her son, David, who was born in 2018 with a congenital heart abnormality and spent 53 days in the NICU before he went to be with the Lord. She shares what it was like to grieve publicly while also serving as pastors — and how the hardest part wasn't only the loss… but the feeling that God's presence “lifted” afterward.That “double grief” became part of what birthed this book: • grieving her child • and grieving the God she thought she knewA word for the Church: please stop saying thiscatWe also talk about how well-meaning Christians sometimes use “quick words” that actually cause more harm — especially phrases like:“Everything happens for a reason.”Tiffany gives such a needed invitation for believers to learn the ministry of presence, and to normalize lament the way Scripture does (because yes… a huge portion of the Psalms are lament).Sometimes the holiest thing you can do is: • show up • sit in silence • bring a meal • remember the anniversary • send the Mother's Day card • and let people grieve without being correctedBecause grief doesn't need to be fixed — it needs to be witnessed.Friend, if you're grieving… if you're wrestling… if you're angry… if you feel distant… please hear me: you are not disqualified. God can handle your questions, your tears, and your lament.Bio:Tiffany Stein is an ordained minister and trusted shepherd with more than a decade of ministry experience. She currently serves as a fourth grade teacher at Austin Classical School and previously served as women's pastor and marriage and care director at Irving Bible Church in Dallas, Texas. Tiffany is a native Texan and a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and Oklahoma Baptist University.

When someone dies, there's a script.When you get divorced, there isn't.No ritual.No defined role.No socially approved space to grieve someone who is still alive.In this episode, we unpack why divorce grief is neurologically and socially different from death — and why so many women feel stuck for years without understanding why.We talk about:The three ways divorce grief disrupts the nervous systemWhy “stages of grief” don't fully apply hereThe self-esteem hit that makes you ask, “Why wasn't I enough?”Why many support groups validate you… but don't actually help you healAnd we introduce something deeper — what we mean when we say divorce grief is quantum.Not mystical. Not abstract.Layered. Overlapping. Entangled.Your past self, your present body, and your future identity are all grieving at once. Your nervous system is still wired to seek comfort from the person you're trying to let go of.Divorce grief doesn't move in stages.It moves in waves.There may be no meal train for this kind of loss.But you don't have to grieve it alone.If this episode resonated, your next step is simple: don't stay isolated in it.Join us inside the Cocoon community in the Heartbeat app, come to a Cocoon Connect, or take one deeper step into your healing.Because this kind of grief doesn't resolve with time...It resolves with support.We'll meet you there.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨

What do you do when life doesn't move on your timeline?When grief hits.When comparison creeps in.When the applause stops.When the results aren't immediate.In this episode, I recorded live from Texas Tech and unpacked a message about endurance, identity, faith, and trusting God in hidden seasons.This is about:• Betting on yourself even when no one is watching• Trusting God's timing instead of culture's timeline• Blocking out comparison and outside noise• Working without validation• Grieving while still believing• Separating your job from your true calling• Becoming disciplined in unseen seasons• Refusing to shrink when fear speaksYou are not what you produce.You are not your KPIs.You are not your engagement numbers.You are valuable before validation.If you're in a waiting season, a grieving season, or a rebuilding season — this is for you.Keep showing up.Keep serving.Keep enduring.God honors faith and obedience.MIND BULLY PODCAST:SpotifyApple PodcastsSOCIALS:@kingno_@mindbullypodcast

Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are back together for an episode that perfectly captures the messy reality of motherhood.The heavy bits, the joyful bits, and everything in between.Kelsey opens up about the truth that grief doesn't stop motherhood and motherhood doesn't stop purpose.She reflects on why grieving Phoenix has, in some ways, felt harder than Tom with the children being older, and how even in the depths of grief, life as a mum keeps moving.The conversation lightens as they move on to Kelsey's newfound love of home cooking, how it's become grounding, creative, and unexpectedly comforting during a tough chapter.Georgia then shares her latest 40 Before 40 list, inspired by listener Kirsty, though she's very clear there are some things she absolutely will not be attempting.And of course, We Listen & We Don't Judge returns, with not understanding maths homework, Googling “is this normal?” at ridiculous hours & letting kids win the odd argument just to keep the peaceThis episode of Mum's The Word is motherhood exactly as it is.A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

No one tells you what becoming a parent actually feels like. Not the baby registry, not the birth plan—but the identity shift, the relationship changes, the loneliness, grief, and joy that cracks you open. In this solo, Lindsey shares what she genuinely wishes someone had told her before becoming a mom. From nervous system overload + sleep deprivation to partnership strain + matrescence (the emotional + psychological transformation of motherhood), Lindsey pulls back the curtain on early parenthood. This isn't about fear—it's about truth. The discomfort, the rewiring, the ego death, and the profound expansion that comes with raising a child. If you're a new mom, thinking about becoming a parent, or deep in your own identity shift in your 30s, this episode will make you feel seen. It's honest, grounding, and deeply reassuring: you're not doing it wrong—it's just that big of a transformation. We also talk about: Why motherhood expands your capacity for discomfort The nervous system rewiring that happens after having a baby Intrusive thoughts + heightened sensitivity in early motherhood Relationship changes after a baby (+ the Gottman research on partnership dips) Why you don't “go back” to your old self—and why that's freeing Matrescence + identity loss in your 30s Grieving your old life while loving your child How motherhood ruthlessly edits your priorities Perfectionism in parenting + attachment research truths Emotional availability vs. “doing it right” Loneliness in early motherhood + building your village Reparenting yourself while raising your child Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.
