What if grief wasn’t just about death—but also about the parts of us we leave behind in transition? In this heartfelt episode, grief coach and end-of-life doula Robin Olson shares her powerful story of transformation after profound personal loss—including the deaths of her sister and parents and her husband's psychotic break and divorce.

Robin invites us to expand our understanding of grief, exploring the overlooked terrain of non-death losses—like identity shifts, broken dreams, and unmet expectations. We explore her transformative READ Method, the “grief glasses” metaphor, and how reframing grief as an invitation to explore further can shift everything.

This episode is a compassionate, empowering guide for anyone walking through grief, change, or emotional overwhelm.

In this raw, unscripted conversation, Melanie and Gina throw out their original plan and dive headfirst into why contrast creates clarity and expansion. After a sleepless night filled with anxiety, Melanie realized her push for perfection was rooted in the limiting belief that “if it’s not perfect, I’m not enough.” Gina shares her own powerful ah-ha moment after forcing herself to go to work while seriously ill—ignoring her own needs to avoid letting others down.

This episode is a deep dive into releasing perfectionism, healing the roots of the fawn response, and embracing flow over force. Whether you're navigating burnout, trying to find your authentic voice, or learning to let go of people pleasing and perfectionism, this one’s for you.

Why is it so hard to let go—even when we know it’s what we need? In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Melanie and Gina explore the deeper reasons we resist letting go—how our identities, nervous systems, and emotional histories can sometimes keep us tethered to the familiar, even when we know better.

They dive into the psychology and neuroscience behind our fear, share personal stories, and even discuss the flip side of the coin - the JOY of letting go. This episode is a reminder that letting go isn’t about loss—it’s about creating space for something better to come in.
