Claire creates such a safe space to open up and speak candidly. It has been a healing experience to revisit times of grief and share how I made it through. Her guests are vulnerable and honest and set the stage for listeners to feel so seen in life’s hardest moments. Nothing Happens for a Reason is an incredible platform for shedding light on the dark times. Beyond grateful for Claire and the opportunity to share my story.
As a featured guest, I was so nervous going into this podcast with Claire’s background and hearing the wondering guest prior to me. Claire made me feel welcomed, safe, and as if two old kindred spirits had just linked back up. As a listener, her episodes get better and better as you listen to them. She pulls these raw emotions from people, sometimes unexpectedly, and it becomes so relatable. Definitely add this podcast to your list!
Although I haven’t experienced grief in the form of death, this podcast really struck a chord with me. It captures the many forms of grief we all feel. The conversations are real, relatable, and comforting. Highly recommend giving it a listen, wherever you are in your own experience with loss or grief.
This podcast has brought such an authentic experience to the process of grief. I have learned so much through just 6 episodes including how to support others and how to bring words to my own experience of grief
If you or someone you know has experienced grief (which is basically everyone), this is the podcast for you. The stories and conversations shared were relatable on so many levels. Helped me feel less alone in such a lonely experience.
