#40 Navigating Grief at Work: What to Say, Do and Understand

In this deeply personal episode, we open up about our own experiences with grief and how work showed up - both for better and worse. We explore the reality of grief at work, the fear of sharing and why colleagues often don’t know what to say.

We ask: (i) Why is grief so hard to talk about at work? (ii) How can we be more open about what we need when grieving? (iii) What role do colleagues and managers play in creating a safe space? (iv) Why flexible workplace policies around grief actually matter?

We also challenge you with a simple but powerful experiment: If you’re grieving, how can you share just a little bit more? If you’re supporting someone, how can you show up in a way that truly helps?

We hope you find this episode helpful.
