Manage episode 500216160 series 3620050
In this episode of the Life with Grief podcast, I’m welcoming Sundari Malcolm—grief expert, birth, grief, and death doula, author, and founder of the Healing Doula Academy.
Sundari opens up about her deeply personal grief journey after losing both parents to cancer in her twenties and early thirties.
Raised between New York City and a yoga ashram in Virginia, she shares how spiritual practices like yoga, breathwork, rituals, and more have shaped her healing path.
Together, we explore:
✨ The importance of fully embracing grief rather than avoiding it.
✨ How indigenous and ancient healing practices can support the grieving process.
✨ Grounding techniques for grievers using yoga, breathwork, and ceremony.
✨Practical ways to weave holistic grief tools into your daily life.
If you’re seeking holistic grief support or want to learn how spiritual and ancestral practices can transform your healing, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable guidance you won’t want to miss.
Listen now to discover how you can honor your grief, reconnect with your body, and find peace through sacred, grounding rituals.
