  Motherhood Without Your Mother: Coping with Grief, Postpartum Anxiety, & Finding Joy Again with Laura Todd

  Sep 21, 202642 min

  "Grief does not have a timeline. The intensity and the frequency of it can change, but it will always be there. And so, finding ways to acknowledge it and honor it is an important part of the grief process. And then community— because the only way we truly heal is being in connection with others that make us feel safe and make us feel loved." —Laura Todd Grief after losing a parent doesn't follow a schedule — and therapist Laura Todd knows that better than most. In this episode of Live, Love, Survive, Thrive, Laura sits down with host Dr. Kimberly Hubenette to share what happened after she lost her mother to stage four breast cancer at 24, and how that loss quietly resurfaced years later during her own postpartum period. Laura is a licensed therapist specializing in perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health, and the founder of Early Bonds Therapy in Silicon Valley. She opened her practice after facing postpartum anxiety and grief while becoming a mother without her own mother by her side. This conversation moves through the sudden hospital diagnosis that gave her family four weeks' notice, the family dynamics that shifted afterward, and the moment a supervisor told her she couldn't keep "treating herself" through grief. It's a conversation for anyone rebuilding identity, family rhythm, or purpose after significant loss — especially those navigating grief and motherhood at the same time. Key takeaways: • Grief resurfaces at life's milestones — weddings, births, birthdays — even years after the loss itself. • A trained therapist can still need her own therapist; expertise doesn't exempt anyone from needing support. • Family roles shift permanently when the "emotional center" of the family is gone, often leaving fathers or partners unsure how to fill that space. • Community — not willpower — is what makes long-term healing possible. • Watching your children inherit a lost parent's traits (a love of dance, a facial expression) can become its own form of connection and healing. • Financial and lifestyle choices can shift permanently after loss, prioritizing present memories over indefinite delay.

  Grief, Healing, and Inner Fabulosity: The Art of Taking Your Time with Ally Dalsimer

  Sep 7, 202646 min

  "Don't let people bully you about your grief. You take as much time as you need." —Ally Dalsimer Inner fabulosity — the idea that you're worthy and whole even on the days you can barely tread water — is the heart of this conversation with award-winning author and speaker Ally Dalsimer. Ally lost her husband to cancer eleven years ago, and in this episode, she walks through what actually happened after: the job loss, a failed run for Congress, caring for a dying mother, and the morning she realized no one needed her to get out of bed. This episode is for anyone grieving a spouse, parent, or child, and for anyone who's been told — directly or not — that they should be "over it" by now. Ally is candid about how long healing took her, how she helped her two kids process losing their father, and how she eventually rebuilt a life around writing, speaking, and a philosophy she calls inner fabulosity. Key takeaways: • Grief has no universal timeline — it took Ally almost ten years before she could speak about her husband without crying, and she insists that's neither too long nor too short. • Kids process loss differently than adults because they lack the cognitive tools to name what they're feeling, so patience matters more than explanations. • Trying to "solve" a grieving person's pain often backfires; listening without offering solutions is usually the more supportive move. • Small, repeatable actions — Ally's rule was doing just three things a day — can rebuild a sense of purpose faster than waiting to "feel ready." • Telling someone their grief has an expiration date is one of the most damaging things you can say to a person in mourning. • Running for public office, even in a losing campaign, gave Ally proof that she was capable of far more than she believed.

  Grieving a Sibling's Overdose: Writing Through the Anger, Guilt, and Healing with Randi Lee Bowslaugh

  Aug 24, 202644 min

  "Life is life, and sometimes it sucks, and we can figure things out together with people who care about us." —Randi-Lee Bowslaugh Grieving a sibling's overdose comes with a version of grief most people never talk about — one tangled up with anger, guilt, and the roller coaster that comes with it. In this episode, Dr. Kimberly Hubenette talks with author, advocate, and podcaster Randi-Lee Bowslaugh about the day she learned her brother had died, what it was like to be the one who told her mom, and why loving someone in addiction means grieving them twice — once for the person they could have been, and once when they're actually gone. Randi-Lee also opens up about writing "Goodbye Too Soon," a book she published on the one-year anniversary of her brother's death, and how that same story is now becoming an independent film. Along the way, she shares what it's really like to be diagnosed with autism as an adult, how she masks in conversation, and the small sensory tools that help her cope in loud or overwhelming spaces. If you're supporting someone through addiction, grieving a sibling, or just trying to understand what "moving through it" actually looks like, this conversation offers something concrete to hold onto. • Addiction grief carries a layer of anger and guilt that loss from illness or accident doesn't — the hope that someone will get sober dies with them. • Randi-Lee published "Goodbye Too Soon" exactly one year after her brother's death, turning her own grieving process into a resource for other families. • Cleaning out a loved one's belongings after an overdose can reduce a whole life to a handful of items — for Randi-Lee, it was one Bible and one drawing. • Journaling showed up as the single most common coping tool among the 300+ guests she's interviewed on her own podcast, Write or Die. • An autism diagnosis later in life doesn't erase a lifetime of learned masking — noise sensitivity, eye contact, and needing direct (not broad) questions are all part of her daily reality. • Her brother's story is being adapted into an independent film, with Randi-Lee playing herself and premiering it during Canadian Mental Health Awareness Week. • Listen to the full episode to hear Randi-Lee's complete story — and if it resonates, share it with someone who's grieving a loss they don't quite know how to name.

  Decluttering After Loss: The Grief No One Warns You About with Tina O'Keeffe

  Aug 10, 202653 min

  "Let some time dictate what you need to do. Let yourself grieve." —Tina O'Keeffe Decluttering after loss isn't about trash bags and deadlines — it's about timing, permission, and grief you can't rush. In this episode, Dr. Kimberly Hubenette sits down with Tina O'Keeffe, founder of Stow and Behold and a professional organizer of 13 years, to unpack what actually happens when someone tries to clear out a home after a death, a move, or years of quiet accumulation. Tina's path started far from organizing — in copywriting, grant writing, and two years in the Peace Corps — before a chance conversation at a Women Entrepreneurs conference in 2005 changed her direction. She's since become a go-to voice for senior downsizing, hoarding intervention, and the emotional side of letting go, and she's now helping launch the Hoarding Alliance of Long Island to connect families with the right support. This conversation is for anyone standing in a closet full of someone else's things, unsure what to keep, what to give away, and when it's okay to decide. Tina explains why sentimental items should be the last thing tackled, not the first, and why grief has its own timeline that no calendar or well-meaning relative can override. Key Takeaways: • Sentimental items — photos, letters, keepsakes — should be handled last, not first, because they carry the most emotional weight. • Grief-driven shopping sprees, what Tina calls the "widow habit," often fill an emotional gap rather than a practical need. • Roughly 80% of what Tina removes from a home gets donated, which helps clients feel their items are still useful rather than discarded. • No one else — not an adult child, not a spouse — gets to decide when someone else is ready to let go of a loved one's belongings. • Preserving and relocating an item is a valid middle ground between keeping it out and getting rid of it entirely. • Organizing for seniors often means keeping things visible and accessible, not hidden away, to protect their independence. • Ready to rethink how you approach the stuff that's been sitting untouched?

  Grief, Betrayal, & Cult Escape: A Mother's Story of Loss, Spiritual Awakening, and Radical Healing with Isabella Young

  Jul 27, 202643 min

  "It's important to allow those emotions to move through, because emotions are energy in motion, and if we hold the emotions back, it can create physical and mental illnesses. So, it's important to be vulnerable." —Isabella Young Grief healing is rarely a straight path, and in this deeply personal conversation, New Human of New Earth author Isabella Young shares how unimaginable loss reshaped her life and ultimately led her toward healing through nature, spirituality, and personal resilience.

Following years of manipulation and the devastating loss of her teenage son, she found the strength to reclaim her life and begin rebuilding from the ground up. Throughout this episode, Isabella discusses: • Navigating profound grief without expecting "closure" • Recognizing manipulation and reclaiming personal sovereignty • Why connecting with nature became the foundation of her healing • Daily practices including grounding, time outdoors, gardening, and mindful living • Viewing suffering as a catalyst for wisdom and personal transformation Dr. Kimberly and Isabella also explore how grief can reshape identity, purpose, and the journey toward thriving after adversity.
