Manage episode 501567311 series 3620050
In this episode of the Life With Grief podcast we welcome Blair Kaplan Venables, a grief and resilience expert, to share her powerful story of overcoming profound loss and adversity.
Blair opens up about navigating her father’s addiction, multiple family deaths, miscarriage, and her husband’s health crisis—and how she transformed these experiences into a mission of healing and empowerment.
Together, we explore:
✨ The role of forgiveness in grief and resilience
✨ Practical tools for coping with grief and trauma
✨ The neuroscience of resilience and emotional healing
✨ What being “resilient A.F.” really means
✨ How the Global Resilience Project was born to support others in their darkest times
✨ Why community is essential when rebuilding life after loss
This conversation is a moving reminder that while grief reshapes us, it can also awaken resilience, purpose, and strength we didn’t know we had.
Whether you’re looking for hope, healing, or real-life strategies for navigating grief, this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and Resilient AF.
