This week we are joined by two incredible ladies, whose stories you won’t believe until you hear them. Ell Pullin and Lotte Bowser are two friends brought together by the unimaginable loss of their partners, world champion snowboarder Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin, and UK music agent Ben Kouijzer. Both Ben and Chumpy are known for their magnetic energy, their passion for life and music, and they have both left a huge imprint in the lives and hearts of everyone who knew them. Shortly after Chumpy’s sudden death while out spearfishing in July 2020, Ellidy announced a miracle pregnancy with his baby after finding out about a procedure called postmortem sperm retrieval. After two rounds of IVF, Ellidy gave birth to Minnie Alex Pullin in October 2021. Lotte recounts her harrowing experience of when she flew to Mexico in October 2020 where Ben was undergoing alternative cancer treatments to try and save his life. One morning Ben was rushed into hospital and separated from Lotte after contracting Covid-19. Devastatingly, this was the last time she saw him alive. Lotte and Ellidy are also both experiencing cumulative grief, after losing their dads only a short time after their partners died. Their bravery and resilience is nothing short of admirable, and this conversation is one that we are both thankful to have been a part of. FREE EVENT REPLAY : Feeling the weight of grief?

Today’s fascinating conversation on finding balance in grief is with Mary Hoang, Founder and Head Psychologist at The Indigo Project , an online psychology practice that thinks creatively about mental health. She is also the author of Darkness is Golden , a book that explores the painful parts of our lives that we tend to gloss over, like grief and trauma. Mary shares so many profound nuggets of wisdom throughout this conversation. A key message from this episode is how important it is to take a break from grief and not let your loss define you. She shares why it’s key to find balance, which isn’t always easy, but something we need to do when processing loss. Mary shares her perspective on how to cope with numbing distractions that might be holding up our healing. We discuss the two-factor model of grief that many of us can identify with, which is either distracting ourselves from grief or leaning into grief too much. We also explore why a loss might bring up other unmet grief and the psychology around why we don’t easily allow ourselves to feel joy when we are grieving. We had a big “A-HA” moment around this, so make sure you tune in all the way through, there are some wonderful insights in this conversation.

Today’s conversation is a powerful one. Dr. Edith Eger is a Holocaust survivor, psychologist and expert in the treatment of post-traumatic stress. At 94 years old, she has some incredible words of wisdom, courage and comfort to share. No stranger to grief and trauma, Edith and her family were sent to Auschwitz in 1944 when she was only 16 years old. She has gone on to share her incredible story of trauma, resilience, hope and survival in two bestselling books: The Choice and The Gift . Her work provides powerful lessons on healing and the power of choice and hope – things that many of us need after experiencing loss. In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Eger shares her wisdom on how we can help ourselves heal from traumatic experiences in life and why the key is in our pocket. We discuss the gift of forgiveness, the importance of not being a victim in life and how you can find hope in hopelessness, plus much more. FREE EVENT REPLAY : Feeling the weight of grief?

In today's episode, we talk about a topic that is common in grief, but one we might not always openly discuss: brain fog.

Today we are talking with director and producer, Tahyna MacManus, about her experience of having multiple miscarriages and the grief that comes with early pregnancy loss. Even though 1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage, this type of loss can feel like a taboo to talk openly about. After experiencing her first miscarriage in 2017, Tahyna began filming her feature documentary Misunderstandings Of Miscarriage (MuM), which documents her personal journey to understand the physical, emotional, and psychological impacts of miscarriage. In this deeply personal conversation, we discuss the disenfranchised grief associated with baby loss and how society doesn’t always acknowledge it – even though it is something that many women experience. We talk about how Tahyna overcame her feelings of shame and isolation, tips for partners, and how as a society we can better support and approach this important topic. Whether you have experienced baby loss or want to support someone who has, we hope this conversation will comfort, educate and inspire you.

Today we are talking with the ever-inspiring Kelly Terranova. Kelly’s mum, Jenny, has Huntington's Disease, which is an incurable degenerative neurological disease that is hereditary. Nothing is off-limits in this chat as we discuss Kelly’s experience with anticipatory grief – a topic that we know has impacted a lot of our listeners but isn’t as widely discussed. It occurs before death is common among people who are facing the eventual death of a loved one, or their own end of life. It’s an incredibly difficult thing to watch someone you love slowly decline in health – something that Kelly is very open about sharing. In this candid conversation, Kelly is incredibly open about the realities of anticipatory grief and seeing her mum decline in health and change over time. She shares how she struggled to come to terms with her mum’s diagnosis, how she put off getting tested, and how she had to hit rock bottom to rebuild her life. She also share some tips and advice for those supporting someone caring for a loved one. For anyone who is experiencing anticipatory grief, this conversation is for you.

We are joined by TV presenter and actress, Lauren Brant Hall, who shares how her sister-in-law, Sandy’s cancer diagnosis and recent passing have reshaped her life’s purpose. We talk about what it looks like when you're supporting a family member facing the end of their life.

We talk about all things signs and how Lauren connects with Sandy spiritually. We share tips on how to ask friends and your community for support – something that isn’t always easy to do when you’re grieving. We also discuss the importance of having a “grief sesh” and how to process all the feelings that come with a loss.

This week we are joined by Rebecca Jax to talk about sibling loss, and the importance of releasing trauma that is trapped in your body. Rebecca shares her story of losing her younger brother, Jack to suicide, and how this experience was a huge catalyst for her healing journey. We talk about how to navigate sibling loss and why it can sometimes be a lesser acknowledged form of grief. She shares how she had to hit rock bottom and take herself to the depths of what Jack felt, and how from there left everything behind to spend years on a spiritual journey, learning about somatic healing and how to heal the spirit, mind and body. Today, Rebecca is a trauma informed grief and suicide loss mentor, guiding suicide loss survivors through their healing journey using holistic healing art forms and spiritual principles.

We also dive into Hope’s own personal experience of becoming a mum after losing her mum when she was 17, how her grief has evolved over time, and how we can reframe the experience of mothering without a mother.

In this episode, photographer Stepha Doyle bravely shares her story about what it was like to grow up with a parent with a mental illness. Stepha’s mum, Coleen, was diagnosed with bipolar when Stepha was in her teens. After being hospitalised several times, she tragically took her own life, when Stepha was only 17 years old. We discuss how she navigated a difficult dynamic, often feeling like a parent to her mother rather than a child, how she coped with her mum’s unpredictable behaviour, and how after her passing she found strength to keep going. Through such tragedy, Stepha has discovered acceptance through self-expression and has created a life for herself that she loves, despite dealing with such tragedy early in life. Prepare to be inspired by this courageous, wonderful and sparkly woman.

We sit down with actor, singer and all round legend, Alicia Gardiner, who shares her story of watching her mum, Pam, decline from early onset Alzhiemer’s disease and the anticipatory grief that comes with “the long goodbye”. Alicia shares how she came to terms with her mum’s decline over the years, choosing to go with the journey of her mum’s disease rather than fight it. We talk about how letting go and finding humour in the darkest moments can be a saving grace in situations beyond your control. She bravely opens up about how although it took some time, she now feels a closeness to her mum that she didn’t think was possible, and how she feels her mum is guiding her from above. Prepare to laugh, cry and be truly inspired by this warm, funny and courageous woman. Oh, and be sure to have a Magnum ice cream for Pam.

In this episode, we interview Rebecca Soffer, the Co-Founder and CEO of Modern Loss and Co-Author of Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. When Rebecca was 30 years old, her mum Shelby, died in a tragic car accident one hour after dropping Rebecca home from a family camping trip. Four years later, her dad died from a sudden heart attack while on a cruise to the Bahamas, leaving Rebecca orphaned at the age of 34 and feeling “untethered from any foundation”. Rebecca talks candidly about having to make the choice to live her life as richly as she could, despite being thrown into the depths of grief. She used her experience and her struggle to find resources that weren’t too clinical, to go on and create Modern Loss. She also shares the importance of seeing the humour in the dark times, which is something that we both feel passionate about. Oh, and why we need to all stop saying ‘passed away’ and start saying ‘died’. Prepare to be educated and inspired by this incredible woman. Come say hello on Instagram!

In this eye-opening episode, we interview Annie Horton, who is the sister-in-law of Broadway star and Tony Award-nominated actor, Nick Cordero. Nick died after an almost 100-day battle with Covid-19. He was only 41 years old. Nick was a fit and healthy man, with no pre-existing medical conditions. Annie explains the harrowing reality of what it is like to witness a loved one fight for their life, and the devastating impact that coronavirus has had on her family. We also discuss what it is like to grieve the loss of someone that is in the public eye, and how media speculation, sensationalism and unsolicited comments from online trolls, can be extremely difficult for family members to cope with. Annie is unfortunately no stranger to grief. Over the past five years she has had to deal with multiple losses. Annie’s father Carl, died of a sudden heart attack, when he was away on a business trip. Annie fell pregnant shortly after the death of her dad and struggled with juggling grief and motherhood. Annie’s grief manifested in health anxieties, which were starting to become debilitating for her. She talks us through how she had to work really hard to regain control of her life, as a result. This conversation is important, educational and a must listen for anyone who hasn’t been directly affected by the devastating impacts of Covid-19.

In our last episode of 2020 we talk to someone very special: Elle Quintal...aka Imogen’s bestie! Not only has Elle been a huge part of Imogen’s life and an amazing support especially during her grieving, but she also has an incredible story. So it felt only right that we get her on to share it with you all. Elle has known grief most of her life. She has been faced with adversity since a young age and is a living testament of turning your pain into pride. Elle’s Dad, aka Bobby P, died in 2017 after a long battle with his health after he had a workplace accident when Elle was only 12 years old. She shares her story on what it’s been like having to grow up very quickly while caring for a sick parent and also dealing with the absence of her mother from a young age. Elle also shares some amazing insights into dealing with a parent’s substance abuse and coping strategies to keep yourself grounded through uncertain times, and how to let hardships become a bright source of light in the world for others to turn to in times of darkness. She’s a wise and wonderful human and there are so many inspiring nuggets of wisdom we hope you’ll take away from this enlightening and heartfelt conversation.
