In this deeply personal episode, host Taylor Parise sits down with her friend Makela Sorney for a conversation about the long-term reality of loss and how grief continues to evolve over time. Makela lost her dad when she was 18, and because the two were not on speaking terms when he passed, her grief has also been shaped by guilt, unresolved emotions, and complicated feelings that don’t always get talked about openly.

Together, Taylor and Makela discuss what it’s like to carry grief years later, the ways it can unexpectedly resurface, and how loss can change your relationships, identity, and outlook on life. They also touch on spirituality after loss, signs from loved ones, and Makela’s belief that her dad has shown up for her more in death than he did while he was alive.

Reflective with sprinkled with humor throughout, this conversation explores the complicated side of grief — the parts that are messy, ongoing, and impossible to tie up neatly.
