    47. How to Own Your Grief

    Grief is not something we fix, rush, or get over. In this solo episode, Ruthie explores grief as a sacred and necessary part of the human experience, particularly the grief that comes with losing people we love. Drawing from her personal journey after the loss of her grandmother, she reflects on how grief reshapes us, deepens our capacity for love, and asks us to slow down, feel fully, and honour our own timeline. This episode is an invitation to stop making your grief palatable for others and to give yourself permission to feel everything. Grief does not need to be contained, explained, or justified. It is yours, and it is sacred. In this episode, you will learn: How grief and loss are woven into the human experienceWhy sitting with grief, rather than avoiding it, is where real healing happensHow ancestral and generational grief can surface through personal lossWhy grief changes us, and why that transformation is not something to fearHow allowing yourself to feel fully can deepen love, presence, and meaningIf you are grieving right now, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers space, reflection, and permission to move at your own pace.
