How to Navigate the Grief of Pet Loss

In this episode, Natasha is joined by Nelly Larue, whose personal journey through childhood loss, the passing of her mother, and the deep grief of losing her heart dog, Toncy, shaped her passion for supporting others.

She is certified in grief and pet loss support and, having traveled to over 70 countries studying how people grieve, Nelly now helps others navigate the intersections of grief, guilt, relationships, and spirituality.
