Description

Grief changes everything, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Hosted by Heather Stang, author, thanatologist, and mindfulness teacher, alongside Amanda Palermo, yoga teacher and Certified Mindfulness & Grief Coach, the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast offers compassionate, practical guidance for anyone living with the death of a loved one. Each episode blends mindfulness, grief psychology, neuroscience, contemplative wisdom, and real conversations to help you navigate loss with greater steadiness and self-compassion. Rather than focusing on stages or timelines, this podcast introduces the Mindfulness & Grief System, an eight-step framework that helps you respond to grief with skill, kindness, and courage. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you’ll discover practical tools for calming an overwhelmed nervous system, working with difficult emotions, quieting rumination and regret, staying connected to the person who died, getting unstuck, and gently rebuilding your life without leaving your loved one behind. You’ll also hear thoughtful conversations about continuing bonds, post-traumatic growth, self-compassion, meaning-making, mindfulness meditation, journaling, expressive arts, and the many ways grief changes us over time. If you’re looking for more than comfort, if you’re looking for a compassionate roadmap through grief, you’re in the right place. Subscribe today and discover how mindfulness can help you carry your grief with greater peace, resilience, and love.
