Grief is the one guarantee we all share, and yet as a society, we often don’t know how to face it. In this episode of Breathe In, Scream Out, host Katie Healy sits down with Brie Bednarski, a spiritual counselor who blends depth psychology, somatic healing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and earth wisdom to guide people through soul-level transformation.

Together, Katie and Brie explore the ways grief cracks us open to life, love, and transformation. Brie shares her deeply personal story of losing both her mother and father, her journey through rock bottom and suicidal thoughts, and the tools that helped her find her way back, like plant medicine, somatic healing, and learning to honor every part of herself.

This conversation reminds us that grief isn’t something to “get over.” It’s something to metabolize and live alongside.

They talk about:

• Brie’s story of losing both of her parents
• Why we live in a grief-illiterate society (and how we can change that)
• The connection between death, aliveness, and transformation
• How somatic healing and IFS help us regulate and honor all parts of ourselves
• Brie’s experience with medicinal microdosing as part of her grief journey
• The language of intuition and how to follow what lights you up
• What becomes possible when we learn to sit with grief rather than suppress it
