THE GRIEF TAPES with Georgia Polly Taylor: Part 2 - February
In our second meeting, Georgia touches on what it was like to prepare and attend her mum's funeral. With honest takes on what her family encountered, she tells us of the stories, mementos and impact that accompanied this big day in their lives.
Our conversation adventures the metaphorically dense peaks, troughs, spectrums and circles of Georgia's new stages of grief. Along the way, you can expect to follow tangents of confusion, community, the comfort zone, cringe and courage (plus many other routes not beginning with the letter C ofc). One of my favourite images of the series comes in around the cringe chat, though! So listen out for that diamond 🌹
As G and I discuss here, relativity is important when striding on through the human experience. We hope this podcast can find those who might need it. If someone in your life came to mind when listening to this, please share an episode with them.
Didn't Buddha say something about candlelight never dimming when shared with others? I like to think that applies here. Let's share the flames. We haven't got this fire in our bellies and warmth in our hearts for nothing!

THE GRIEF TAPES with Georgia Polly Taylor: Part 1 - January
In this first chapter of our recorded meetings, Georgia Polly Taylor offers her honest take on navigating the initial steps of grief. We invite you to join us in sitting with loss, as we listen to its echoes and hold space for what remains beyond death.
Recorded just weeks after her mum Sherri’s passing in January 2024, our conversation captures Georgia’s experience of the final months with her mum, her death at home, and how life feels after the fact. With honesty and warmth, she speaks about the realities of witnessing the end of a loved one’s life, the quiet shock of absence, and the ways grief unfolds in its earliest days.
As you will discover in this episode, last year Georgia completed some awesome physical challenges to raise money for two charities that supported her mum and family throughout their journeys with cancer. Although her original campaign is now closed, G has set up an extra little pot for anyone who is listening and would like to support these very needed local organisations.
