Grief, Ghosts & Gelt: Building a Grief Community with Emma Zeiger

There is, apparently, a very niche pipeline from being an individual sports counselor at camp to becoming a solo podcaster. Is it niche? Yes. Is it real? Also yes. Emma and I both started our podcasts the exact same week which feels less like coincidence and more like… KISMET. Bashert, perhaps? And if you know, you know camp is my main personality trait and favorite place on earth. It’s where you skip the small talk, overshare immediately, and somehow leave with lifelong friends and at least three personality traits you didn’t have before. That energy is exactly what this conversation feels like. And it’s also, in a very real way, what Emma built with Ghosted with Grief a grief podcast and online community that takes something heavy (loss, grief, healing, mental health). We schmooze (obviously) about dating and how grief sneaks into your relationships whether you’ve processed it or not. If you’ve ever been ghosted, gone through grief, or tried to date in a world where you have the loudest personality and depth. If you ran the NYC Marathon in under three hours, slide into Emma’s personal DMs. Not Ghosted (that would be weird?) It’s less interview, more two camp people turned podcasters having a very honest, slightly unhinged, deeply on-brand conversation about creating community.  Follow Along On Socials Sam’s Socials TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@schmoozingwithspan?_r=1&_t=ZT-95zI4OkTs0z Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/schmoozingwithspan?igsh=MWJ1cHJ4bHc0Mmp4MA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Emma’s Socials TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@emmasloanezeig?_r=1&_t=ZP-95ywbIbYBFG  Insta: https://www.instagram.com/ghostedbygrief?igsh=b3RmbW1rZm9jc3pr&utm_source=qr and https://www.instagram.com/emzeigs?igsh=MTk4NHY4cGpycnZ5bw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Apple: Ghosted Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1E9RJn2MWbP9x0LKARhEMF?si=sLn2nBHVQTupQyNpu2xpLg
