Sally's mum Rose died suddenly in November 2019 from a prolonged seizure. No warning, no goodbye, just a 6am phone call that flipped her world upside down. She and her now co-host, Imogen, met at a support group for motherless daughters and turned their shared grief into Good Mourning, a podcast built on honesty, humor, and refusing to make grief feel taboo.

In this episode, we get into:
✨ Sally's story of sudden loss and how she and Imogen built Good Mourning from the ground up
✨ Grieving styles—the difference between "instrumental" (doing) grievers and "intuitive" (feeling) grievers, and why neither is wrong
✨ The physical side of grief nobody warns you about: exhaustion, brain fog, immune changes, and more
✨ How COVID complicated (and in some ways deepened) both of our grief journeys
✨ The special kind of hell that is "deadmin"—settling an estate while your heart is in pieces (plus a story involving a cake tin that will make you laugh out loud)
✨ The mind-body connection, breathwork, and one simple technique you can use anywhere to calm your nervous system
✨ Why the second (or third!) year of grief can hit harder than the first, and why that doesn't mean you're going backwards
✨ Sally's best advice for anyone in the thick of it right now

Sally is proof that you can build a full, joyful life alongside your grief, not after it. I know this one's going to make you feel so seen.
