Heal Squad x Maria Menounos

You know, grief is something we all have to grapple with at some point in our lives, whether it's the loss of a loved one or just the sense that something is missing. It can be such a complex, overwhelming experience - maybe you're struggling to feel joyful, or you feel like you're stuck in a dark place without a way out.

For today’s throwback, we are bringing back our conversation with the incredible Bozoma Saint John, and she is sharing her own personal journey through grief. Bozoma's been through some heart-wrenching losses, but she's come out the other side with powerful insights on how to navigate those tumultuous emotions and learn to live fully, because the truth is, we all have struggles and sorrows that we have to work through. But Bozoma reminds us that there is still joy and happiness to be found, and we shouldn't feel guilty for embracing those moments, even in the midst of our grief.

So whether you're currently grieving or just looking to expand your capacity for joy, this conversation is sure to provide some much-needed comfort and inspiration.
