In this episode, I sit down with EFT practitioner Bella Chater for an honest conversation about losing our mums far too soon.
We talk about what it’s really like to care for someone at the end of their life, the strange peace of a final goodbye, and how grief shows up in waves on the most ordinary days.
We also explore the realities of grief at work - how to check in with someone, why choice matters when it comes to time off, and the very real admin that follows a death.
I share parts of my own story, including the pull toward numbing and one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard for grief - the “ball in the box.” Bella explains EFT tapping, how it helps calm the nervous system, and how she’s used it to release painful memories.
We also touch on key dates, opting out of Mother’s Day emails, the surprising physical changes grief can bring, and the small rituals that help us stay connected to those we’ve lost.
It’s a tender and practical conversation about how to live (and lead) alongside loss, both at home and at work.
