D and Micki wind down the Season 5 journey just in time for a solid 2026 New Year's rest. Join us for a reminder and a moment of gratitude that we are all SO much more than what we do.

Join D and Micki in some revelations about the messaging we are inundated with these days, including ways information gets passed on and what that's looking like for both the older and younger generations.

Join D and Micki in a conversation about the loss of aparent - or the idea of one - be it to death or choice. The processing of this deep and specific wound, as with so many types of grief, is a life-long experience. We’re here for it.

Join D and Micki as they confront some very complicated grief. The confusion of mourning an abusive relationship. The pain of being estranged, even when you know you’re better off without them. It's hard. Community matters.

Grief is in all parts of our lives, and can be especially hard to navigate in relationships of any kind. Join D and Micki to observe just some of the many angles of love and loss.

In the first Hormonal Grief episode, D and Micki explored some of the struggle around life changes, particularly when there isn't much by way of cultural rites of passage to help ease the experience. In Part Deux, we take a look at how we can each create our own rites through how we interact with our community, and how we care for, speak to and view ourselves. There is so much beauty to be found. Let's celebrate.

What can we say - it's a magical time of year and deserves it's own episode! Join D and Micki to talk about all things autumn: shifting, quieting, ritualing, eating, grieving, rinse and repeat. It ain't easy but it sure can be lovely sometimes. Especially when we can appreciate it together.

AKA The Hormonisode! D and Micki invite you to the big chat about the great adventure of being a woman of a certain age. May you find some new tips and tricks and feel the camaraderie within the hormonal grief.

D and Micki explore the Gottman Card Decks - an app full of interesting questions to build connection, intimacy and understanding. Take it home, take it to heart, learn more about us, about other loved ones, and most importantly about you. Turn towards. https://www.gottman.com/couples/apps/

Grief can often have massive influence on our bodies. Join D and Micki in a chat about ways that grief affects and resides in the body - how that works and ways to work through it.

Language can really help with understanding and processing any emotional experience. Join D and Micki as they go through a short list of types of grief: complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, collective grief, abbreviated grief, delayed grief, and secondary loss. May it bring you clarity. Your grief is valid.

Welcome back to the Grief After Dark party! D and Micki are back with Season 5, Dark Canvas, the platform on which grief is able to be painted in the truest of light. Join the conversation for a catch-up, a reflection, and a continuation of the life and grief journey. We are either gonna go batshit crazy or we're not. Get your beverage. Get your kids. Game on.

Anyone else feeling sort of...apocalypsey…these days? Us, too. Join D, Micki and our good friend and former guest Josh as we explore what to do when the toilets don’t flush anymore. At the very least, we shall be banding together with our absolute favorite people and all their superpowers.

Creating, maintaining, revisiting and enforcing boundaries are, fortunately or unfortunately, an ongoing affair. It’s also an ongoing challenge, and yet another thing that nobody should be choosing for you. Repeat after us: my boundaries are not less important than other people’s feelings, and the people who love you want to respect your boundaries. Happy freakin holidays. Are we or are we not right on time?

Deciding the things we do and do not take seriously is a personal journey, especially when grief is present. What we share, where the boundaries are drawn, what’s important to us - so often we don’t even really understand why we react the way we do. Discover and draw your own squishy lines.
