    Friends: Keep or delete?
    Feb 19 2025

    Grief changes a lot—including friendships. Some people step up in ways you never expected, while others quietly drift away. And then there are the ones you have to walk away from because, honestly? Life’s too short for unnecessary drama.

    In this episode, we’re talking about how our friendships have grown, shifted, and, in some cases, ended since losing our dads. But more than anything, this is a love letter to the friends who have stuck by us—the ones who show up, make us laugh, and remind us that even in grief, we’re never alone.

    You’ve heard our tagline: past pain and Pinot—but this episode? Fully powered by prosecco. So, apologies in advance if things get a little rogue.

    Expect honesty, a bit of chaos, and a whole lot of appreciation for the real ones. Because in the worst of times, the best people truly show themselves.

  • Dating, work and grief talk

    Dating, work and grief talk
    Feb 12 2025
    Bringing up grief in new romantic relationships or at work is never easy. Do you drop it in casually? Wait until it awkwardly comes up? Or, like us, panic and blurt out,"So… my dad’s dead" at the worst possible moment? There’s no guidebook for these conversations, and honestly, we could use one. Instead, we’ve fumbled our way through—accidentally trauma-dumping on colleagues, derailing perfectly nice dates, or mistiming the moment so badly that silence lingersway too long. In this episode, we’re diving into the awkward, ridiculous, and sometimes painfully funny reality of introducing grief to new people. Because if there’s a smooth way to do it, we certainly haven’t found it yet.

    Milestones without Dad
    Feb 5 2025
    Birthdays, weddings, Father’s Day—some milestones just hit different when your dad isn’t there. In this episode, we’re diving into the big (and small) moments that feel a little emptier without him, from not having a dad to walk us down the aisle to figuring out how to handle Father’s Day when the card aisle feels like a personal attack. But it’s not all doom and gloom! We’re talking about the weird, unexpected ways we still feel connected to our dads during these milestones, how to balance the joy and sadness, and some creative (and maybe slightly chaotic) ways to honour them. Because grief doesn’t play by the rules—and neither do we. Listen now, and let us know—how do you handle those big milestone moments?
