26 OTT 2026 · In this episode, I sit down with Jothi to explore the dance we have with grief and how loss can shape the way we move through life.Grief is not a straight line. It ebbs and flows, showing up in unexpected moments and reminding us of the love, connections, and experiences that have changed us. Sometimes we move closer to it, sometimes we need space, and sometimes we find ourselves learning how to live alongside it in entirely new ways.
Together, Jothi and I explore what it means to make room for grief, honour our own journeys, and embrace the many emotions that come with loss.Because perhaps grief isn't something we need to overcome, but something we learn to dance with.

19 OTT 2026 · In this episode of Speak Your Truth, I sit down with Born I to explore the journey of grief and loss, what it means to make space for the emotions that arise, and how we can begin to embrace grief as a companion rather than an enemy.We dive into what it might look like to shift our relationship with grief, allowing ourselves to feel whatever comes up without judgment or the pressure to move on.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it looks different for everyone. Sometimes it shows up as sadness, anger, or longing, and other times it reminds us of the depth of the love we carry.
Together, we explore the question: What if grief was your friend? What might change if, instead of resisting it, we welcomed it with curiosity, compassion, and an open heart?This conversation is an invitation to honour your own journey, give yourself permission to feel what you need to feel, and remember that healing doesn’t mean forgetting or leaving our grief behind. It means learning how to make space for it as we continue to live, love, and grow.

5 OTT 2026 · Welcome to Season 6 of Speak Your Truth, a season dedicated to grief, the untold stories we carry, and the lived realities that shape us.
For our second episode, I’m joined by Patricia Elliott as she shares her personal journey with grief and grieving, and what it means to lean into the many dimensions of grief such as chronic health conditions and loss.
Because grief isn't something we simply move on from. It's something we learn to make room for, something that can bring us closer to ourselves, and a part of our story that deserves to be witnessed. This is a conversation about allowing ourselves to feel, honouring our own journeys, and finding the courage to speak the truths we may have kept tucked away
About Patricia:
Patricia Elliott is a Functional Health Practitioner, National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and founder of Lifecycle Healing.
Her work grew out of her own health journey. After years of struggling with symptoms and searching for answers, she was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and heavy metal toxicity. Years later, while navigating the sudden loss of her mom, Patricia experienced a significant mold exposure that sent her health into another spiral. Those experiences changed the way she thinks about both grief and healing. She understands that grief isn’t only about losing someone you love. There can also be grief in chronic illness, in losing the person you used to be, and in trying to find your way back to yourself when your body and your life feel completely different.
Today, Patricia brings both her professional training and her own lived experience into the work she does with others. Her own journey has taught her that grief, loss, chronic illness, and healing don’t always fit neatly into separate boxes. They overlap, they change you, and learning how to live through all of it is often just as much a part of healing as anything else.
