Ep 24 Dancing with Grief – A Conversation with Margie McNabb

Send us Fan MailGrief is not something to fix—it’s something to feel, to live with, and, sometimes, to gently move alongside.In this heartfelt episode of Rewired, Tiffany sits down with coach, facilitator, and longtime leader Margie McNabb for an honest and deeply human conversation about love, loss, and what it means to dance with grief.Margie shares her personal story of losing her husband Richard to a brain tumor after a rapid six-month journey, and how she chose to meet grief with openness, support, and self-compassion. Rather than trying to “move on,” Margie speaks candidly about allowing grief to be present—seeking connection, engaging in grief coaching and support groups, and learning how to stay in relationship with both love and loss.This episode is less about theory and more about lived wisdom—what actually helped, what surprised her, and what she wishes others knew about grief.This conversation is for anyone who has experienced loss, is supporting someone who is grieving, or simply wants permission to feel without needing to “fix” anything.In this episode, you’ll hear:A real-life story of love, loss, and resilienceWhat “dancing with grief” looks like in practiceWhy grief doesn’t follow a timeline or formulaThe role of support, connection, and being witnessedGentle truths for those early in grief—or trying to be strong for othersHow grief can coexist with meaning, purpose, and continued livingThis episode isn’t about solutions—it’s about companionship, presence, and honoring the full human experience of grief.Resources & SupportWashing The Bones; A Memoir of Love, Loss and Transformation by Katherine IngramWashing The Bones; A Memoir of Love, Loss and Transformation by Katherine IngramGrief Girls Guide by Katherine IngramThe Grab and Go Grief Kit by Katherine Ingram The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhDOption B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam GrantBearing the Unbearable by Joanne Cacciatore, PhDDifferent After You by Michelle Neff Hernandez WinterSpring Grief Support, The Learning Well; a service of LaClinica, Medford OregonIf this episode resonates and you’d like support on your own journey:✨ Work with a professional coach: https://yesempower.com✨ Explore ICF-accredited coach training: https://yesempower.com/cpec📩 Send in your listener questions: [email protected] Stay connected with RewiredListen anytime on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or yesempower.com/podcastJoin the Empower community on LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube for weekly tools, neuroscience-based inspiration, and stories of real change.Discover upcoming workshops, LaunchPad learning, and coaching opportunities at yesempower.comEmpowered people empower people.
