#21 Grief as a Rite of Passage with Iola Kreizman and Olivia Wood

In this episode, we open a powerful and compassionate conversation on grief, guided by two leading experts in the field. Together, they explore what it really means to grieve—not just the loss of a loved one, but the endings, transitions, and quiet heartbreaks that shape our lives.We also journey into the ancient story of Isis and Osiris—a myth rooted in love, loss, and devotion. After the death of Osiris, Isis’s grief becomes a force of transformation, guiding her through the underworld and into a profound act of remembrance, healing, and rebirth. Their story reminds us that grief is not the end of love—but an extension of it, a sacred bridge between what was and what still lives on.This is more than a conversation about loss. It’s an invitation to understand grief as a deeply human—and even transformative—experience. Through insight and lived wisdom, our guests share how grief can soften us, awaken us, and reconnect us to what matters most, if we allow ourselves to feel it.From navigating the waves of emotion to releasing the pressure to “move on,” this episode offers a new perspective: that grief isn’t something to fix or rush—it’s something to honor.If you’ve been carrying loss, supporting someone who is, or feeling called to explore the deeper, ancient roots of grief and healing—this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
