    Episode 9: Love, Loss & February 14th

    Episode 9: Love, Loss & February 14th ❤️‍🩹 Valentine's Day looks very different when the person you built your life with is no longer here. In this episode, I'm talking about helicopter rides over the Alps, prison massages in Thailand, and the quiet evolution of love over 13 Valentine's Days together. I'm sharing what this day used to mean. What it means now. And how love doesn't disappear just because someone does. If Valentine's Day feels heavy for you, this episode is for you. Pour a coffee. Take a breath. And treat yourself to some Lily O'Brien chocolates. ☕️🖤

    Episode 8: Running With Love For Winston's Wish

    Episode 8: Running With Love For Winston's Wish This week is special. I'm joined by my friend Lydia, who is running an ultra marathon in May in Alex's memory to raise money for Winston's Wish, the charity that has held me and Oscar through some of our hardest moments.  We talk about carrying people with us, about endurance (both running and in grief) and about what it means to do something meaningful with pain.

    Episode 7: The Gentle Return Of Joy

    Episode 7: The Gentle Return Of Joy After loss, joy can feel risky. Complicated. Even undeserved. This episode is about giving yourself permission to feel good again - not instead of grief, but alongside it. Not forced happiness. Just quiet moments of ease. Just enough softness to let your shoulders drop. If joy feels far away right now, you're not broken. You're healing. ☕️🖤

    Episode 6: Totally Unhinged Things I Did To Process My Grief

    Episode 6: Totally Unhinged Things I Did To Process My Grief A reminder that grief has no rules. You're allowed to be messy. You're allowed to laugh at the wrong moments. You're allowed to do things that don't make sense to anyone, even you. This episode is me telling the truth about what survival actually looked like - unfiltered, undignified, and human. If you're here, I'm sorry you're here but I'm glad we're here together ☕️🖤

    Episode 5: After The Chairs Are Put Away

    Episode 5: After The Chairs Are Put Away A year after the funeral, I'm finally able to look back without flinching. This episode isn't about reliving the day. It's about what that day gave me. The love that showed up. The laughter that surprised us. The way grief can be held by other people when it's too heavy to carry alone.  I'm joined by Emily, one of mine and Alex's best friends and the celebrant who stood beside me on that day. We talk about funerals, memory, and why love doesn't end when everyone goes home and the chairs are put away. Pop the kettle on. Sit with me for a bit. I'm sorry you're here but I'm glad we're here together ☕️🖤

    Episode 4: Becoming A Solo Parent Overnight

    Episode 4 is one I never planned to make - because it's about a life I never planned to live. This episode is about becoming a solo parent overnight. Not by choice. Not gradually. But through loss. It's also about the difference between single parenting and solo parenting. About grief that doesn't pause for bedtime. About doing everything alone - while missing the person who should be there beside you. If you're solo parenting - especially through grief - I see you. And if you're supporting someone who is, I hope this episode helps you understand what they're carrying.

    Episode 3: How To Support Someone Who Is Grieving

    Grief makes people nervous. So they disappear, or say the wrong thing, or even try to fix what can't be fixed. This episode of the Early Mourning Coffee Club is for two kinds of people: - If you're grieving - I hope you feel seen - If you're supporting someone who is - I hope this takes some of the pressure off. You can't fix grief. But you can stay. Pop the kettle on, say their name out loud, and join me for this one ☕️

    Episode 2: Where It All Began

    This week on Early Mourning Coffee Club, I'm sharing why I'm spending six weeks in the French ski resort of Tignes - the place where me and Alex met - and what it means to return with our son as I teach him to ski for the first time. I'm also joined by my friend Alex Connor, who worked a ski season with us and witnessed our love story unfold. We talk about memory, grief, joy and what it's like to carry someone forward while standing in the place where it all began 🤍

    Episode 1: Dear Oscar

    Dear Oscar - Episode One. This podcast was recorded in the early hours of the morning, coffee in hand, grief already awake, and featuring an extra special guest... The Early Mourning Coffee Club is a place for people who loved someone who left too soon. A place for quiet mornings, heavy hearts and doing the best we can with what's left.  This first episode is a letter. To my son Oscar. About his Daddy. About love, loss, and learning how to exist in a life that looks nothing like the one I imagined. It's not about fixing grief or making it make sense. It's about showing up anyway. If you wake up too early because grief won't let you sleep - you belong here. Coffee first. Grief second. We'll figure out the rest together.
