66. The Grief You Didn't Know You Were Carrying

Not sure why you're carrying a low-grade anger or sadness you can't explain? This episode might tell you why. Bryson and Randy dig into what actually qualifies as a loss — from everyday disappointments to the deeper "underlying wounds" from our families of origin — and why so many of us are grieving without realizing it. They unpack the difference between recent losses and older, unresolved wounds, why Randy believes grief is never fully "one and done," and how naming our losses honestly is where real healing starts. If something in this episode named a feeling you couldn't place before, that's worth sitting with — and if you know someone who's been carrying something they can't quite explain, this episode might be the nudge they need.
