from The Coaching Chapters Podcast · host The Coaching Chapters

Grief doesn’t look the same for everyone and neither does home or belonging.In this episode of The Coaching Chapters Podcast, I’m joined by Leena Magdi, positive psychology practitioner and author of Mourning Air: A Memoir of Sudden Loss, for a deeply reflective conversation on grief, identity, and meaning-making after loss.Leena shares her experience of growing up across cultures, living between countries, and how third-culture identity shapes the way we experience home, connection, and grief. We explore how loss can be personal, layered, and often misunderstood, especially within families and communities and why grief should never be compared or ranked.We discuss:✅Why grief shows up differently depending on relationships and lived experience✅ The impact of loss beyond death, including identity, place, and unfulfilled dreams✅ How third-culture experiences shape belonging and resilience✅ Creating compassionate spaces for grief without comparison✅ Using positive psychology to make meaning, build resilience, and honour lossI’d love to hear what resonated with youand who in your life or organisation needs this conversation.#GriefAndLoss #Belonging #ThirdCultureKids #PositivePsychology #CoachingPodcast #LeadershipWellbeing #EmotionalIntelligence #PersonalGrowth #IdentityAndBelonging #TheCoachingChapters
