    Getting to Grief

    In this heartfelt debut episode, host Roianne guides us through a deep and vulnerable exploration of grief, shedding light on the quiet ways it shapes our lives. With honesty and emotional clarity, she traces her personal journey—from early voids and repressed sorrow to a growing understanding of grief as a companion, not a curse. Roianne revisits key moments of loss—her grandmother, granddad, cousin, father, brother, aunt, and a dear friend—each leaving its imprint in emotional boxes stored over time. She shares how these accumulations eventually overflowed, forcing her to confront the grief she'd been avoiding. There’s catharsis in tears shed on a kitchen floor, in the serendipity of favourite songs on shuffle, and in the anger that unexpectedly made space for healing. This episode is more than a memoir of mourning—it's a courageous invitation to sit with complexity. Roianne affirms that acknowledging grief is not weakness, but liberation. It’s the difference between surviving loss and learning from it, between repression and soulful release. For anyone carrying silent sorrow or avoiding pain, this episode offers resonance, relatability, and hope. Stay tuned as Roianne shares practices that helped her move toward grace, and begin her journey of truly getting to grief. ✨ Join our conversations, challenge your thinking, and take your reflections offline — journal, ponder, and practice. 📲 Follow us on Instagram @finishing_school_for_the_soul for episode highlights, soul food prompts, and a vibrant community of fellow seekers.
