263: How to Get Stuff Done When You’re G...

Jess Massey
About this episode

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal—how I’ve navigated grief while still keeping my life moving forward. Losing my Grandma, Toy, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever walked through, and it completely shifted how I approached work, routines, and even self-care. Tbh, grief is exhausting, unpredictable, and often overwhelming, but I’ve found a few things that have helped me honor my emotions while still showing up for my responsibilities.

If you’re currently navigating grief or supporting someone who is, I hope this episode gives you permission to be gentle with yourself and take things one step at a time.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How to determine what’s truly essential and let go of the rest (without guilt!)
  • Simple ways to prioritize your well-being when everything feels heavy
  • Why communicating your needs and delegating tasks creates space for healing
