The Process of Grief with Kristy Lavinsky

In this honest episode, host Laura Walton sits down with Kristy Lavinsky to explore what it really means to carry unspoken grief in the body. Twenty-six years after the death of her mother, Kristy realizes she never truly grieved...she just stayed busy, strong, and “fine”.Together, they unpack the generational silence around grief, the myth of “polite grieving”, and the moment Kristy finally lets her body feel what her mind had buried for so long. Through yoga, breathwork, and embodiment, she learned that grief isn’t something to conquer but something to move through. Kristy also shares what it was like to watch her son navigate the suicide of a close friend and how music, movement, and connection became his way back to life.This is a conversation about breath, body, and the wild, uncontainable power of grief (and what happens when we finally stop fighting it).More Listening Options:Resources & SupportIf you’re looking for more support after listening to Kristy’s episode, here are some resources that may help:* The Light After: Grief Support Group* The Light Within: Healing After Trauma* Downloadable Grief Journal* Grief & Trauma Resource Bundle* Grief on Purpose BlogAdditional organizations and resources:* Option B – resources for navigating grief* My Grief Angels – online community and resources for grievingYou can also listen to this episode on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.
