We confront society's inadequate response to personal grief and its inability to provide genuine support during tough times. We explore Megan's revolutionary philosophy of acknowledging rather than denying our pain, offering empathy over empty platitudes, and realizing that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. Whether you've experienced a personal loss or just want to be more supportively present for others, this episode is a refuge that offers a realistic roadmap to navigate and address grief honestly and compassionately. Tune in and join us on this eye-opening journey.
