Today, I welcome Jody Gelb, Broadway actor and author of the heart-wrenching memoir She May Be Lying Down But She May Be Very Happy, to explore how joy can coexist with unimaginable loss. When Jody’s daughter, Louisa, was born with severe brain damage, her journey through grief, acceptance, and spiritual resilience redefined what it means to live fully. In this raw and deeply moving conversation, we discuss intuitive parenting, preparing for death with grace, and the sacred rituals that heal. Jody’s story is a masterclass in finding light in life’s darkest corners.

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Meghan Riordan Jarvis—a seasoned grief therapist who faced her greatest challenge when grief shattered her own life. After losing both parents, Meghan’s journey through PTSD, spiritual disconnection, and eventual healing reveals profound truths about trauma, intuition, and the unseen threads that bind us to those we’ve lost. Together, we explore how grief rewires the brain, why childhood wounds resurface in loss, and the mysterious signs that whisper, “You’re not alone.” If you’ve ever felt crushed by loss or questioned how to find light in the darkness, this conversation is a lifeline.
