How can we channel our grief into something good?
Show Notes

So many of the stories on this podcast show us how humans have the ability to take terrible experiences and turn them into something good for the world, and today’s podcast is a shining example of this in action.

I had the pleasure of talking to Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, the co-hosts of The Good Mourning podcast. Sal and Im first met a couple of years ago at a grief support group after they both lost their mums suddenly, and an instant connection was formed. 

Finding it hard to find grief support resources that spoke to them, the two came up with the idea to start a podcast about grief, and the Good Mourning podcast was formed - along with a beautiful friendship!

Now with over 27,000 followers on Instagram, the podcast is not only helping others, but it’s also helped Im and Sal to process their grief and create a supportive community.

In this interview, we delve back into Im and Sal’s personal stories about growing up, finding their paths in life, and how their experiences and grief have shaped who they are today.
