I’m Almost Okay: Navigating Grief, Loss, and Learning to Live Again |Guest: Amanda Landes

Grief changes everything—but it doesn’t have to define the rest of your life.In this deeply honest episode of Born Without a Choice, psychologist and author Amanda Landes shares the personal story behind her book I’m Almost Okay. When her father was diagnosed with glioblastoma, Amanda found herself navigating not only the heartbreak of losing a parent, but also infertility struggles, miscarriage, and the collapse of her marriage—all at the same time. Drawing from both her professional expertise and lived experience, Amanda opens up about the realities of grief, resilience, healing, and the difficult process of rebuilding a life after loss. Together, we explore why grief isn’t something to “get over,” how gratitude can coexist with sorrow, and what it truly means to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan. If you’ve ever lost someone you love, faced a major life transition, or struggled to find hope in the middle of heartbreak, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—even when you’re only “almost okay.”⸻Guest Contact DetailsAmanda Landes, Psy.D.* Psychologist, Author, Speaker* Book: I’m Almost Okay: Navigating the Grief of Parental Loss, Miscarriage, and Divorce Book Information: I’m Almost Okay is available through major online booksellers.
