EP 246: Thin Thinking Reads: Wild Things: A Geography of Grief

Some conversations invite us to slow down. To breathe differently. To step out of the rush of our lives and into the quieter places we often avoid — the ones where grief, memory, and healing wait patiently for us to catch up. Today's episode is one of those conversations. My guest, Barbara Wansbrough, didn't set out to write a book about grief. She set out to take a walk — one that eventually led her through forests, along coastlines, and into the tender terrain of losing her sister. The result is Wild Things: A Geography of Grief, a breathtaking collection of letters that reads like both a love story and a survival guide. In this episode, Barbara shows us that healing doesn't always arrive with dramatic breakthroughs. Sometimes it shows up in the rhythm of your strides, the feel of wind on your face, or the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other when the heart feels heavy. If you've ever found yourself in a season where life asks you to let go, to begin again, or to navigate a loss with no clear map — consider this your invitation. Let's step into the wild and see what it has to teach us. Come on in.   Check out this amazing book! Wild Things: A Geography of Grief by Barbara Wansbrough   In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… How walking can gently re-pattern grief in the body, creating space for clarity, calm, and emotional release.
