Reflections on Grief and Loss + Life Update (It's a Solo Episode!)

Sydney hops on the mic solo today to reflect on grief and loss and to share a life update. 

On August 1st Sydney's Grandma Pearl suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. She was this podcast's biggest fan and she never missed an episode.

When Sydney sat down with Christa Couture and Cat Peters back in June (two recent episodes on grief and loss) she had no idea that she would be embarking on another grief journey so soon after losing her Grandpa Milton in October 2020. 

In this episode Sydney shares her thoughts and reflections on grief, why remaining present has not only been challenging but also incredibly transformative and crucial, and what she's learned from her experience with grief and loss so far. Plus, Sydney shares more about her incredibly talented Grandma Pearl Kaufman. 

Our biggest takeaway from this episode? Remaining present with grief is challenging, but it allows us to learn so much about ourselves and just how capable we are of loving others and ourselves. 

We would love it if you checked out Pearl’s incredible talent and music on Spotify here and Apple Podcasts here. You can also check out a highlight reel of her show here and make sure to listen to Bumble Boogie and Rhapsody in Blue, those are Sydney's two favorite tracks (with Malaguena and Lara’s Theme in a close second!)
