Grief Beyond the Personal: Navigating Loss in Life and Work

The HX Podcast with Stacie Baird

In this week's episode of The HX Podcast, I sit down with a truly remarkable guest to explore the profound experience of grief, a topic close to my heart. We discuss everything from personal loss—like the sudden, devastating passing of Myrae, her beloved Sheltie—to the layered emotions that come with supporting loved ones through serious illness, such as my daughter's cancer diagnosis. It’s a conversation that really underscores how grief is not something we "get over" quickly; instead, it’s a deep, ongoing process that changes us at our core.

What really struck me in this episode is how we often underestimate the impact of grief in professional spaces. Whether it’s navigating the emotional fallout of a layoff or losing a trusted mentor, the grief we experience at work is often dismissed or unaddressed. We touch on the importance of making space for these emotions, for ourselves and others, and how being present with grief, not trying to fix it, can be the greatest gift we offer.

This episode is all about honoring where you are in your journey and surrounding yourself with those who can sit with you in the hard moments. It's raw, real, and a reminder that grief is part of the human experience, personally and professionally.
