Podcast appearances and mentions of nathalie himmelrich

Send us Fan MailThis episode is different. Instead of sitting across from a guest, I am the one in the chair.In this solo episode, I share my own personal timeline of grief, loss, and trauma — and trace how each experience shaped the ones that came after it. From what I learned about grief growing up, through infertility, miscarriage, the death of my daughter A'Mya three days after she was born, the suicide of my mother four and a half months later, a significant trauma in my adult life, separation, and single parenthood — this is the story behind the work.My intention is not to centre myself. It is to model what I ask of every guest: that your personal story is not separate from how you grieve. It is the lens through which you grieve. Understanding that lens changes everything.If you are carrying multiple losses, if your grief feels more complicated than you think it should, or if you support someone whose grief seems out of proportion to the immediate loss, this episode is for you.Free resources mentioned in this episode are available at nathaliehimmelrich.com/free-resources-hub, including the Beginner's Guide to Dealing with Grief and Trauma.Rate this podcast five stars if it helps you feel less alone. It takes thirty seconds and helps more grieving and traumatised people find this show when they need it most.Support the show

She draws on more than two decades of direct experience: as a carer to Harry, as a long-term team member at Helen & Douglas House (the Oxford children's hospice where Harry died), and through her sustained work with bereaved parents, siblings, and professionals navigating loss.If you're like me, you will love listening to Lizzie's voice, giving us an insight into her journey over the past 25 years. About this week's guest​​Lizzie is a Grief Educator, Author and Film ProducerShe offers Grief Guidance to organisations and individuals, educating people about grief and helping them get back to life and work following major losses.

With this in mind, I'm taking a moment to honour her and the body of work I've created with this podcast - even though I'm not one to applaud my own accomplishments easily. For the coming season 16 and 17, I'm planing a whole set of episodes on the topic of trauma, starting with last week's episode on cultural grief following a traumatic event. Before we begin, a gentle content note: we'll be talking about trauma in general terms. There will be no graphic details. You don't have to push through any of the episodes. If you notice your body tightening, your breath changing, or your mind drifting away, that's not failure—that's your nervous system doing its job. You're allowed to pause, come back later, or choose a different episode.  The intent is to educate, to inform and to support - both those affected and those supporting those who are. With that in mind, have a gentle day. Let you nervous system guide you. With Love, Nathalie Support the show

In her memoir Nightbird, Shavaun explores the devastating experience of her husband's revenge suicide, an act he carried out on the very day she told him she wanted a divorce. After 17 years in an abusive relationship, Shavaun was left not only with the trauma of a gruesome scene staged in her own home, but also with the complex emotional aftermath, grief not just for the loss of life, but for the relationship that never truly was. As a therapist herself, Shavaun offers a profound and nuanced perspective on the psychological toll of intimate partner abuse, the moral injuries of suicide, and the long road of healing. This is a powerful and honest conversation about trauma, survival, and the complicated nature of grief. About this week's guestShavaun has been a psychotherapist for nearly 35 years in Oregon and California in the US. Shavaun shares her passion for mental health and wellness through writing, speaking, and podcasting; she is the author of four books. While she has worked extensively with grief and trauma, she has also experienced it in multiple ways throughout her life. She lost her mother when she was 16, her father when she was 35, and her previous husband of 17 years died by suicide in 2004. Shavaun now lives and works from her home in the forest in Portland, Oregon, which she shares with her husband and a houseful of beloved animals.www.shavaunscott.com  www.instagram.com/shavaunscott/Support the show

She's here today to talk about her latest book, The Joy Reset, a groundbreaking and deeply compassionate guide that takes the powerful tools of positive psychology and adapts them for those of us who have lived through trauma. Joy, she reminds us, isn't about toxic positivity or forced gratitude. It's about finding light in the dark, one gritty, bite-sized moment at a time.In this book, she explores why joy can feel so elusive after trauma—and how we can gently reclaim it. Through neurobiological insights, real-life examples, and actionable practices, MC gives us a new framework to understand hope, gratitude, and resilience—not as fluffy ideals, but as essential, hard-won emotional tools for healing.About this week's guestMary Catherine (MC) McDonald, PhD, is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology of trauma, stress, and resilience. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma and stress for over a decade.

In this episode Mary-Frances is back to speak about her second book The Grieving Body.  So I'm very excited today to be speaking with Mary-Frances again, neuroscientist to find out even more about the science behind grief and all that Mary-Frances and her colleagues have researched in their lab. About this week's guestMary-Frances O'Connor, PhD is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab. Her research focuses on the physiological correlates of emotion, in particular, the wide range of physical and emotional responses during bereavement, including yearning and isolation. She believes that a clinical science approach toward the experience and mechanisms of grieving can improve interventions for prolonged grief disorder, newly included in the revised DSM-5. Website: https://maryfrancesoconnor.org/Support the show

When she was 37 weeks pregnant, her precious son died and was stillborn. The sorrow following his death almost killed her. Conversations with other loss moms saved her. She decided to record them and put them out for others to hear. If they helped her feel less alone, maybe they could help others. She's so proud to have created this in Brody's honor and to give other mothers a platform to talk about their babies. At the time of recording this episode, they were expecting their second child, and navigating the world of pregnancy after loss is a whole new battle. However, Katherine has spent a lot of time putting in the work with grief therapy & trauma recovery, surrounding herself with good people, having a great support system, and amazing doctors this time around.

The car hydroplaned and collided with another car, killing Janna.Tamara became isolated in her grief and felt people had turned away from her. She responded by writing a poem about the importance of hugs:If You See MeIf you see me, do not run . . .I know that talk is not much fun.I know your hearts are sure to tug,But all I need is just a hug.After her poem was published in the local paper, many people approached her, saying they'd read it, and then hugged her.Sixteen years later, in 2013, Tamara started Healing Hugs. This nonprofit organisation assists with funeral-related services or other expenses. For example, when Tamara learned that, for a number of complicated reasons, a child did not yet have a headstone, she offered to provide one for his grave.About this week's guestTamara Gabriel is a massage therapist. She works with her husband, who is a psychiatrist in his medical clinic. They've been together for 23 years, married for 19, they are happily married and living in Arizona, a dream they've always looked forward to together.Support the showFind support: Offers - free and paid Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!

Richard and I first met as colleagues during a year-long holistic counselling course. Over the months, we not only connected through the rich and layered material being taught, but also on a more personal level. What immediately stood out to me was Richard's thoughtful, inquisitive nature—his ability to question what many simply accept as truth, and his willingness to dig deeper into the human experience. I've always appreciated the way he sees the world, with both curiosity and compassion. His perspective brings depth and nuance to conversations around healing, and I'm grateful to have him here today to share his insights into grief, trauma, and the transformative potential of truly being with what is.About this week's guestDr. Richard Blake holds a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology and was the lead investigator on the largest randomised controlled trial ever conducted on Conscious Connected Breathwork.

His work is grounded in both rigorous scientific research and personal experience.As the co-host of the RUNGA Radio podcast, he also emphasises the critical role of intentional community in healing and personal transformation.IG: @the_breath_geekWebsite: www.runga.coGlobal Professional Breathwork Alliance: https://breathworkalliance.com/Support the showFind support: Offers - free and paid Support the show: Become a supporter of the show!

I first heard about Colin through a former guest who was deeply moved by an article he had written. Her words piqued my curiosity, and when I finally read Colin's piece, I immediately understood why—it was powerful, honest, and deeply human. We later crossed paths through mutual colleagues, and it became clear that we shared not just a passion for helping others navigate grief, but also the personal experience of child loss. That shared bond drew me to connect with him more personally, and I knew I wanted to invite him onto the podcast. Colin brings a heartfelt and courageous voice to conversations around grief, and I'm honoured to have him here today to share his story, insights, and the wisdom he's gained on his journey through unimaginable loss.About this week's guestColin Campbell is a writer and director for theatre and film. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Seraglio, a short film he wrote and directed with his lovely and talented wife, Gail Lerner.

He wrote and performs, Grief: A One Man ShitShow which premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival and ran for a month at New York's Theatre Row.
