Grief Can Sit With Us

from Mirror Mirror On the Mic · host malissamatia

Grief is not always loud. Sometimes it looks like scrolling your phone while trying not to cry. Sometimes it looks like laughing with friends and then breaking down in the car afterward. And sometimes it looks like grieving people who are still alive, the family you thought you’d have, or the version of yourself you thought you’d be by now. In this episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, Malissa and Inez talk about the complicated reality of grief, estrangement, divorce, identity loss, motherhood, and the strange ways humor and heartbreak can coexist. They explore statistics around family estrangement, the emotional impact of losing connection with loved ones, and why grief is not something we “get over,” but something we learn to carry differently. This conversation is vulnerable, funny, honest, and deeply human. From chaotic stories about kids and painters to deeper reflections on loss, shame, healing, and rebuilding, this episode is a reminder that sadness does not cancel out joy and that healing is rarely linear. If you’ve ever felt alone in your grief, stuck in survival mode, or like life turned out differently than you imagined, this episode is for you. And if you’re ready to reconnect with yourself in small, realistic ways, our 21-Day Reset is open now.
