Revisiting our conversation with Sara Bareilles on grief, loss, and finding your way through.
In honor of National Grief Awareness Day, we’re revisiting our conversation with Sara Bareilles, originally released for World Mental Health Day.
Sara joined us for an honest and deeply human conversation about grief, loss, mental health, and the many ways we learn to live with what we’ve lost. She reminds us that grief isn’t something we simply move on from. It’s something we carry, make space for, and learn to move alongside.
As Sara enters a new chapter with her upcoming documentary Good Grief, new music, and a forthcoming tour, we’re returning to this conversation because some stories continue to meet us exactly where we are.
