The Everyday Grief Podcast
Everyday Grief is a podcast for professionals, leaders, and caregivers navigating the unspoken grief that comes with life’s hardest changes — career transitions, layoffs, leadership shifts, relationship loss, death, and personal identity loss. Hosted by Dr. Anitra — a grief and change-transformed leadership voice, certified executive coach, HR consultant, minister, educator, and clinically trained chaplain — this podcast blends deep expertise in grief, leadership, organizational change, and personal transformation, guided by ethics, biblical scholarship, and theology. Here, we explore how grief shows up beyond death — and within it — in workplaces, leadership, family, and identity — and what it means to move through loss while holding onto your worth and dignity. If you’ve ever asked: Who am I now that this role is gone? How do I lead when I’m grieving? How do I rebuild after a relationship ends — or after loss that changed my life? How do I carry a death that still lives with me? — you belong here. Each episode offers: Real conversations about workplace grief, leadership loss, identity shifts, relationship grief, and death-related loss. Gentle reflection to help you process grief without pressure — and without having to "move on" too fast. Practical strategies for navigating non-death grief, professional loss, relationship grief, and deep personal transformation — with compassion and care. Whether you’re facing a layoff, leadership change, breakup, divorce, estrangement, death of a loved one, or a quiet loss no one sees, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
