Grief doesn’t have a timeline, a roadmap, or a one-size-fits-all solution—and Grief is the New Normal is here to say that’s okay. Hosted by Dr. Heather Taylor, PsyD, a seasoned psychologist and grief educator, this podcast invites listeners to dive into real conversations about what it means to live with grief, grow through it, and still show up for life. With a mix of professional insight, personal reflections, and candid interviews, each episode tackles the complexities of grief head-on, from navigating anniversaries and holidays to understanding non-death losses and everything in between. Dr. Taylor blends warmth, humor, and a no-nonsense approach to help listeners feel seen, heard, and a little less alone. Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a dream, or even an identity, Grief is the New Normal offers a compassionate space to explore it all. Tune in for honest stories, practical tools, and a reminder that your grief—and how you carry it—is valid. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of 'Grief is the New Normal,' we explore the complexities of grieving on Father's Day after the loss of a father or father figure. Dr. Taylor delves into unique loss perspectives, offering insights on handling mixed emotions, managing expectations, and setting boundaries. She emphasizes that there is no right or wrong way to navigate this day and encourages listeners to honor their fathers in ways that feel right to them. The episode also addresses the impact of secondary losses and the challenges faced by those with complicated relationships or limited exposure to their fathers. With a focus on self-care, small gestures, and community support, Dr. Taylor provides compassionate guidance for anyone struggling with grief as Father's Day approaches.
I'm Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed psychologist in Washington state. I've been practicing grief therapy since 2012 and am passionate about changing the narrative of grief in our current cultural climate. Grief is a universal lived experience and as such needs to be something we talk about without the taboo attached. I hope you'll join me as we work to adjust to the new normal we are living in and support one another in that process.
Dr. Taylor is also a co-founder of 'The Mourning Movement,' with Jen Reisinger, LMHC. The Mourning Movement aims to create spaces for grief education and community support to reduce isolation and stigma around grief. We have an upcoming "In this together" summer grief challenge kicking off on June 10th, 2024. Check out https://themourningmovement.myflodesk.com/griefchallenge
