À propos de ce contenu audio

The Living Loss Podcast is hosted by Licensed Mental Health Counselors Daiana Bernard and Cassandra Harris-Towner. This podcast focuses on non-death grief, the profound, unacknowledged losses like the fading of a dream, a difficult diagnosis, or the loss of an identity. These hidden experiences impact our mental health and relationships, yet are often minimized.

Through solo episodes and diverse guest interviews, Daiana and Cassandra validate these lived experiences and offer tangible ways to move toward healing. They are creating a community where no experience is too "small" or too "wild" to talk about, from the end of a favorite show to the loss of a former self. It’s time to acknowledge the weight of what you're carrying and rediscover your purpose through values, connection, and community.
