  • The role of the host

    Meghan, I was so happy to find your podcast, and so dearly wanted to learn—personally and professionally—from your experiences and insights.. But I have listened to 3 episodes with growing frustration. You invite outstanding guests, then talk over them, continuously interrupting their story with your own. Partly this is because of the quality of the audio, so that even when you make normal “I’m listening” vocalizations, it cuts off the other speaker. You are the host; please don’t make it so muc... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 186: Grief & Longing with Amanda McCracken
Q: What role does travel play in your life and in coping with longing?
Travel represents possibility and a narrative of potential fulfillment, offering anticipation and a sense of growth, but it can also be a strategy to avoid confronting deeper needs unless balanced with self-awareness and therapy.
Ep. 186: Grief & Longing with Amanda McCracken
Q: Can you define limerence and how it relates to longing?
Limerence is a heightened state of longing characterized by rumination, idealization of the other, and an intense emotional rollercoaster fueled by uncertainty and hope, which can be both intoxicating and exhausting.
ep. 185: Marisa Renee Lee Chronic Illness & Grief
Q: How do you define and explain gray grief to someone new to the term?
Gray grief is the ongoing, unclear experience of living with a significant, often multi-faceted loss—whether it's chronic illness, infertility, or other life challenges—where there isn't a clear end point. It's a useful framework because it validates the persistence of grief and emphasizes learning to live with loss rather than hoping it will disappear.
Ep. 184 The Power of Ritual with Tracee Stanley
Q: How did you come to understand what ritual is for and how it works in the context of grief?
She explains a journey from inner ritual (Manasa Puja) to outer ritual, then micro-rituals in daily life, and how consistent practice, not perfection, is key.
Ep. 184 The Power of Ritual with Tracee Stanley
Q: So, can you talk about the question I ask everybody, which is what brings you into the world of grief and loss?
Tracee describes grief as a universal human experience that deepens life, connects us to self and others, and becomes an ongoing teacher rather than a problem to solve.
