Episode 9 Postmortem (WILD Podcast)

,,,,,

This one felt like a sit-down in the in-between. A slow exhale in the middle of a season full of sharp-ass edges and necessary truths.

In Episode 9, I called in memories. I called in the kind of grief that comes with the death of someone you love, and I followed it into the quieter, less-acknowledged grief of what I now call Kananápo—the grief that doesn’t have a funeral, a casket, or a card in the mail.

The question I kept asking myself in the making of this episode was:
 What did body death teach me about the other kinds of letting go?


The answer came sloooooowwwlllyyyyy.

Through dreams. Through permaculture metaphors. Through the way I learned to stay present with what didn’t make sense and didn’t need to.

There’s joy in here too. Because when we get more skillful at grief, we also open more capacity for joy. Not because we’re seeking balance, but because tending to grief is part of how joy grows.

If this episode stirred something in you, I invite you to:

• Sit with one grief you’ve never named because there was no “event”
• Visit BringingFlowers.org and explore the 8 interlocks of joy and grief
• Add your name to the ILID Course waitlist if you want more practice with naming and not rushing

This podcast is a public grief circle. Thank you for showing up inside it.
