oh, this podcast.

It’s been around since 2017. I come back to it because I believe, deeply, that we need to be having more conversations about the grief in the world. It is, as I say, a universal experience that can bind us together, if we dare allow.

However.

I am someone with ADHD and ever-wandering attention. I am an older adoptive mom and have a very busy almost-three-year-old. I have a full client-and-work load. Along with my beloved dog, it has had to accept its fall on my list of priorities.

I named this broadcast Grief: A Love Story, as that was the name of the (still not published) book I wrote about my journey with grief after losing four men from my life, my dog, my car and all the ways I walked about the world in the span of 14 months. I have since re-named the book, but that is a story for another day.

I’m not a stranger to podcasting. I am one of those early adopters to things, and I’ve had many shows over the years. I had a solo show for a year or so, “Speaking of Sparkles” that covered sex, intimacy and relationships because I fancied myself a budding Dan Savage. Amid my year of grief, I had a side-of-my-desk show with a dear colleague of mine that was called Silly, Messy Humans and we covered the very twisted parts of being a human.

I’ve had PR folks get me interviews on a couple of dozen, and..I guess you could call my relationship with all of this complicated.

Here are the episodes that will always just exist (until they don’t) and any new ones I have felt called to record for your listening pleasure.
