This week on The Healing Project Podcast, we’re talking about something that touches all of us eventually — grief — and breaking down some of the most unhelpful (but wildly common) myths that surround it.

You’ve probably heard things like:
✨ “There are five stages and you just move through them”
✨ “You should be over it by now”
✨ “Kids don’t really understand grief”
✨ “Being strong means moving on”

Here’s the truth: Grief is messy. It’s not linear. It doesn’t follow a timeline. And strength doesn’t mean pretending you're fine.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the “five stages of grief” model doesn’t reflect most people’s experience
• How children do grieve — just differently than adults
• What real strength looks like in the middle of heartbreak
• How grief can change you, but also grow you
• What it means to survive the “grief storm” and slowly find your way back to yourself

This episode is a gentle reminder that you’re not broken if you’re still grieving — even years later. There’s no right way to do this. But there is hope. There is life after loss. And there is space for your story, just as it is.

This week on The Healing Project Podcast, we’re flipping the script from focusing on red flags to celebrating the green flags — those healthy, hopeful signs that you’re dating someone who could be good for your heart and your healing.

Too often, we get stuck in cycles of worrying about what could go wrong in relationships. But what about noticing what can go right? In this episode, we break down the qualities, behaviours, and small gestures that signal emotional safety, kindness, and genuine partnership.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The top green flags to notice early on when dating
• Why consistency is more important than grand gestures
• How to trust yourself to recognise healthy patterns
• Encouragement to choose partners who feel safe, kind, and supportive — not chaotic

Whether you’re dating again after heartbreak, or just want a reminder of what healthy love can be, this episode is your permission slip to expect more, and to hold out for the green flags.

This week on The Healing Project Podcast, we’re getting real about something we’ve all experienced but don’t always talk about: red flags in dating. If you’ve ever felt that pit in your stomach but brushed it off, stayed in a relationship longer than you should have, or doubted your own gut feelings — this one’s for you.

Too often, we’re taught to be polite, patient, or forgiving at our own expense. But ignoring early warning signs can lead to heartbreak, confusion, and years of trying to fix what was never safe to begin with.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The most common red flags to look out for in a potential partner
• Subtle behaviors that might seem harmless but are worth paying attention to
• Why love shouldn’t feel like walking on eggshells
• How to trust yourself to leave when something doesn’t feel right

This is your permission slip to honour your boundaries, protect your peace, and believe that you are worthy of healthy, safe, respectful love — every single time.
