A personal note. Why I do this work and what got me here

from Sylvia's Voice Hosted by Sylvia Wolfer

In this conversation, I share the personal story behind why my work and this podcast exists. After losing my father and two brothers to sudden unexpected deaths, and more recently my mother, I became deeply interested in understanding what grief actually does tothe brain, body, nervous system, relationships, identity, and daily life. For years, for decades, I did ot realise the state i was in. Because I was functioning. Working. Showing up. Yet underneath, grief had quietly shaped far more of my inner world than I realised. In this episode, we explore: • How repeated loss shaped my understanding of grief• Why functioning and healing are not the same thing• How neuroscience helped me make sense of my experience• What grief does to the nervous system and body• Why understanding grief can soften shame• The connection between grief, movement, mindfulness, and emotional regulation• Why I created this podcast This podcast combines neuroscience-backed grief education, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and grounded practical tools for people learning how to carry grief while still living real life.
