Grief, Trauma & Radical Acceptance with Therapist Cherie Nassi

In this heartfelt episode of The Empowered Grief Journey, host Chris Mamone sits down with Los Angeles-based psychotherapist Cherie Nassi to explore how grief can become a pathway to healing and empowerment. Cherie shares her story of growing up with a father who developed Alzheimer’s, the anticipatory grief she faced as a teen, and how his death inspired her to help others navigate trauma and loss. Together, they discuss radical acceptance, setting boundaries, and learning to live alongside grief rather than “getting over it.” Cherie also reflects on supporting her community through California wildfires and the lessons of resilience that followed.
