In this deeply personal episode, Laura sits down with therapist Beth Freese to talk about what happens when death settles in early and reshapes everything. When Beth was just 15, her close friend died by suicide. That moment didn’t just break her heart, it cracked something open inside her.

In this piercingly tender episode, Laura sits down with grief therapist and bereaved mother Jenny Robbins to explore the lifelong terrain of traumatic loss… not from a distance, but from inside of it. Thirteen years ago, Jenny’s 19-year-old son Kade died under tragic, uncertain circumstances, alone, on a walk home from a party. Since then, Jenny has walked a path carved out by pain, devotion, and deep intentionality, turning toward grief with both hands open, rather than running from it.
