The Six Things Grief Taught Me
We're kicking off Good Grief with the episode Amanda has wanted to make for six years - and it's the one closest to her heart. In this solo premiere, Amanda opens up about losing her husband, Nick Cordero, at 41 after a 95-day battle with COVID, and what it's really meant to grieve him while becoming a mom, moving across the country, and starting over in Los Angeles.
We talk a lot about grief being heavy - but Amanda's here to make the case that grief can also be good. Over the past six years, she's gone from hating grief and pushing it away, to calling it her roommate, and eventually, her friend.
This isn't a podcast about staying stuck in sadness. It's about building a community where we can laugh, ask questions, stay curious, and find joy again - together. Every episode will open with a question from you, our community, answered from two perspectives.
Grief is love. And if love is beautiful, maybe grief can be too.
