The Kaye Steinsapir Podcast
by Kaye Steinsapir
In 47 years, I've experienced a rough childhood, a homeless mom, academic and professional success against the odds, cancer that torpedoed my law career and left me nothing like it found me, the death of our daughter in the midst of a global pandemic, and our town burning down. I've found purpose and manage to embrace this life, which is nothing like the one I envisioned. We'll talk about everything here. By revealing our truths, we let others know they're never alone. This podcast shares the stories, triumphs and struggles of folks from all walks of life. kayesteinsapir.substack.com

We Want To Talk About Them
We want to talk about those we've lost, especially our kids. We want to tell you about who they were, what they loved, and share our favorite stories about them. Ask the grievers in your life to tell you about their person. Give them the gift of sharing your memories of them. On The Obliterated...

Episode 4 of The Obliterated Place
Elizabeth Kopple began writing creative nonfiction after her 18-year-old son Henry was killed on his first day of college in 2022. Elizabeth wrote in an essay published in the Huffington Post, “in an instant, every expectation for our family and our future was obliterated.” I met Elizabeth at her...

Grief shouldn't be so f*****g lonely
We want to talk about the ones we’ve lost. You aren’t upsetting us when you mention their names and tell us stories about them. You’re giving us a gift. Grief is lonely - especially when the loss wasn’t “supposed to happen.” We experience isolation on top of our sorrow. The Obliterated Place will...

Jew Haters Begone!
Shabbat Shalom! It appears that every Jew in the world is expected to answer for Israel, and your host is no exception. So-called “progressives” have joined the “Free Palestine” movement, chanting “From the River to the Sea,” though most couldn’t say which river or sea. Few of these privileged...

2 Grieving Moms on Life After Tragic Loss
Last Mother’s Day, my long-time friend, Stephanie Renner, discovered that her eighteen-year-old son, Jordan, had died. Jordan ended his life by suicide the prior day. I’m honored that Stephanie agreed to chat with me, as the first anniversary of Jordan’s death and Mother’s Day approach. The words...

Stupid S**t People Say
In today’s episode of Coffee & Commiseration, we’re talking about grief (how parents and other family members grieve differently and how to find each other in your respective grief journeys), how to respond to stupid s**t people say when you’re going through something hard, how I keep going and...

How do we keep our s**t together and still show up in a bigger way?
I don’t know about you, but my life feels pretty overwhelming. Juggling being a mom, maintaining a solid marriage, facing an uncertain future, living with ever-present grief, among other things, is A LOT! How are ya’ll doing? What helps you to stay sane during insane times? How do we keep our...

SO much to discuss!
Please join me for a cup of coffee or tea as we commiserate over difficult family relationships, serious illness, and feeling like we’re standing on shifting sands during these crazy times. Yet, life is still beautiful. I’m grateful for every day and optimistic about the future. Pain and joy can...

A funny story and a sad one
You have no idea how much I have to resist the urge to “get ready” to commiserate with ya’ll. I could definitely improve my hair and put on some makeup but who has the time? This is me, raw and unfiltered. Much as I’d like to strive for “better,” I think this is what I need. Maybe someone else…

Episode 1 - the 23 minute podcast that took all day
It started with coffee (before 6 am). Then green tea. Then a smoothie. And finally, wine (it’s almost 9). I am technologically challenged, friends! But nothing keeps a good woman down. I recorded this podcast to tell you about some of the things you can expect as a listener, and a woman named…

Welcome to Coffee & Commiseration!
I survived a tough childhood, defying odds by putting myself through college and law schooI. I was hit by a motorcycle on my second day at UCLAW and knocked unconscious. Everyone said to delay admissions by a year. I returned the following week. I lacked the use of my dominant right hand for...
