Grief isn’t always about death. I met Mike of the Coffin Talk podcast a couple months back and I knew immediately I had to have him on my show. Mike and I talk all about non-death loss and all the emotions it can bring.

Let’s face it, talking about death can feel like trying to bring up a tarantula at a dinner party. Most of us would rather not. But the truth is, avoiding these conversations doesn’t make death go away. It just leaves everyone guessing when it matters most.

Vanessa Abraham was a speech therapist who lost her voice — literally.

A rare neurological disease — a form of Guillain-Barré Syndrome — left her completely paralyzed and unable to speak. What followed wasn’t just a physical recovery, but an emotional and spiritual reckoning with identity, isolation, and medical trauma that no one prepares you for.

Today, Vanessa is a neuromuscular practitioner, helping others heal after their own health crises — but survival was only the beginning of her story.

She written a memoir, Speechless: https://a.co/d/b4YGrQC

In this tender and deeply honest conversation, I sat down with speaker Steve Gamlin to talk about one of the hardest experiences of his life: losing his soulmate.

Steve opens up about the moment everything changed, the grief that followed, and how he's been navigating the heartbreak one breath, one memory, and one day at a time. With his signature blend of wisdom and wit, he shares how love doesn't end with loss, and how he’s finding ways to honor her memory while continuing to live a life of purpose.

“Why are they posting photos of their brunch when I’m still hurting? In this episode we're getting into one of the most gut-punch parts of grief that nobody really warns you about: that moment when it feels like the whole world has gone back to normal... but you're still in the thick of it.
