186. Grieving Together - Healing in the Wake of Abusive Communities

"Grief is messy, but it is our avoidance of grieving that makes it messier - especially when we learn of necessary change." Harmful systems thrive in silence, fear, and unchecked power. This episode explores how abusive dynamics take root in communities—spiritual and otherwise—and how grief work is essential for both individuals and the collective to heal. By recognizing red flags, advocating for accountability, and refusing to bypass grief, we can begin dismantling the structures that allow harm to persist.
