Host Wendy Jones sits down with Victoria Volk, owner of The Unleashed Heart and an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, to discuss the six common myths of grief and why so many people struggle to process loss in healthy ways.

She shares practical insights on recognizing unresolved grief, expressing emotions honestly, and taking intentional steps toward healing.
