When Grief Doesn't Go Away—and That's OkayGrief isn't something we get over—it's something we learn to live with. In this episode of The Good Grief Podcast, therapist Jill Ann Anderson joins Mike O'Connell and Pete Waggoner for an honest, moving conversation about what it means to truly process grief. Jill shares her personal journey of loss, how it led her to become a grief therapist, and why so many people feel isolated in their pain.Instead of avoiding uncomfortable emotions or rushing to “move on,” Jill explains the transformational power of simply feeling. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a version of life you expected to have, this episode reminds us that healing comes not from fixing grief—but from witnessing it with compassion.Grief Isn't a Straight Line Episode Highlights & Key TakeawaysJill Ann Anderson shares how personal loss led her to specialize in grief therapyWhy grief is not linear and doesn't follow a specific timelineThe analogy of the “rice beds” and how grief requires a guideHow culture has “sanitized” death and made us uncomfortable with painThe deep connection between childhood wounds and adult griefWhy witnessing, not fixing, is the core of healingHow therapy can help you rebuild after loss and find new meaningWhy some people resist healing and the importance of self-responsibilityThe difference between suffering and feelingHow boundaries are meant for expansion, not exclusionGrief as a path toward growth, authenticity, and inner strength

Ryan Soave, LMHC, a renowned addiction treatment specialist with decades of clinical experience and his own recovery story, sits down to share the conversations that typically happen behind closed doors in treatment centers. As someone working on the front lines helping people with addictions and their families daily, Ryan brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to help families move from reactive crisis mode to intentional healing- for everyone involved. Highlights The 94.7% Reality - Understanding why most people with addiction don't perceive they need help, and how this statistic actually explains the resistance you're experiencing (it's not about you or your efforts) Motivational Interviewing for Families - How treatment professionals help people build internal motivation for change, and what families can learn about meeting their loved one where they are, not where they wish they were The Substance as Solution Perspective - Why viewing the addiction as your loved one's attempt at solving discomfort (rather than just destructive behavior) can transform your approach and reduce your frustration The Family System Impact - How addiction creates functioning patterns where everyone plays a role, and why understanding your part isn't about blame but about empowerment to create change When the "Patient" Gets Healthier Than the Family - Why families often struggle more when their loved one enters treatment, and how to prepare for and navigate this challenging but hopeful phase The Serenity Prayer in Practice - Concrete ways to identify what you can and cannot control, including how your reactions contribute to the family system's functioning Age and Responsibility Considerations - Different approaches for families dealing with a 14-year-old versus a 35-year-old, while maintaining consistent principles about boundaries and support The "Built-in Forgetter" Phenomenon - Understanding why your loved one returns to using even after experiencing severe consequences, and why this baffles everyone (including them) Treatment Fatigue Reality - Why people often stop participating in treatment when they start feeling better, and how families can support sustained engagement without becoming codependent Modern Challenges for Recovery - The unprecedented availability and potency of substances today, including the fentanyl crisis and how social media impacts both addiction and recovery Individual Goals Within Family Systems - How family members can identify personal goals that have nothing to do with their loved one's addiction, and why this benefits everyone The Spiritual Component of Healing - How recovery involves returning to an authentic self rather than finding something new, and what this means for family healing Meeting People Where They Are - Practical ways to support your loved one's actual goals rather than imposing your own, while still maintaining healthy boundaries Codependency as Addiction - Understanding how families can become "addicted" to their loved one's wellbeing, and healthy ways to redirect that energy toward personal growth The Lucky Ones Perspective - Why families dealing with addiction, despite the pain, often have opportunities for profound growth and connection that others may never experience This conversation offers something rare: honest, practical wisdom from someone who helps families navigate these waters every day. Ryan's shares that while addiction affects the whole family system, everyone has the capacity for healing and growth. You're situation isn't hopeless, even when it feels that way.

Text us here...What does it take to break free from the roles we were forced into and start living as our truest selves?In this deeply moving and refreshingly honest conversation, I sit down with Inga Larson, therapist, somatic practitioner, and the creator of the Defying Gravity course. We unpack what it's really like to grow up with emotionally immature or personality-disordered parents… and how to heal from it.Inga shares her raw and relatable journey from feeling like a “blind gorilla” in her 20s (yes, you'll love that visual) to finding purpose and building a life rooted in confidence, compassion, and belonging.
