Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 36

I started Too Young to Grieve after losing my dad at 21, in my final year of uni. Back then, I turned to podcasts every day just to get through it, but I realised there weren’t many made for us: young people grieving while trying to navigate life without the person who was meant to guide us. This podcast is here to change that. Each week you’ll hear raw stories, honest conversations, and expert insights on what grief really looks like in your teens, twenties, and thirties. You’re not alone, grief can be the start of your rebuild.

35 Grief Lessons I Wish Someone Told Me Earlier

Episode 35

Sunday, May 31, 2026 • Duration 01:07:27

After 35 episodes of Too Young To Grieve, I wanted to do something different.

35 grief lessons from 35 episodes, five years of grief, hundreds of conversations and everything this community has taught me along the way.

In this solo episode, I explore the realities of grief that people don’t often talk about - identity changes, friendships, guilt, loneliness, purpose, hope, moving forward, carrying love after loss and why grief is so much more than sadness.

Whether you’re newly grieving, years into loss or supporting somebody you care about, I hope there’s something in this conversation that helps you feel a little less alone.

Topics include:

• Why grief changes your identity
• The difference between coping and healing
• Grief and friendships
• Men’s mental health and grief
• Guilt after loss
• Purpose and ambition after grief
• Why grief isn’t a problem to solve
• Joy after loss
• Hope, healing and moving forward
• The biggest lessons from 35 episodes of Too Young To Grieve

How Do You Build A Life While Grieving? | Amber Jeffries

In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Jeffries, founder of Grief Gang, for a really honest conversation around grief, identity, friendships, ambition and the pressure to keep functioning after loss.

We talk about feeling disconnected from life, friendships changing, pressure to “be okay”, balancing grief with everyday life and future plans, and the emotional tension that can come with growth after loss.

Why Men Don’t Always “Look” Grieving | Leodhais Macpherson

Episode 33

Sunday, May 17, 2026 • Duration 58:03

What does grief actually look like for men?

In this episode, I sit down with Leodhais Macpherson, who after experiencing grief young went on to run 128 marathons in 128 days - using it as a way to channel loss into something meaningful.

We talk honestly about men’s mental health, emotional suppression, staying busy to cope, and the reality that grief in men often doesn’t always “look” emotional on the surface.

A really powerful conversation around masculinity, grief, endurance and what’s happening behind closed doors when men are struggling.

Why Grief & Mental Health Are Not Separate

Episode 32

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 27:43

Grief and mental health are not separate. Grief doesn’t just affect your emotions.

It can affect your mental health, your nervous system, your relationships, your identity, and the way you experience everyday life.

In this solo episode, I talk honestly about the hidden mental health side of grief - the anxiety, exhaustion, disconnection, emotional avoidance, and internal changes so many grieving people quietly carry.

After 30+ conversations on this podcast, this episode explores some of the biggest emotional patterns I keep hearing from people navigating loss.

A really personal and honest conversation about what grief actually does to us mentally for Mental Health Awareness Week.

Why Grief Feels So Isolating When You’re Young | Ria Kalsi

Sunday, May 3, 2026 • Duration 01:07:12

Grief is always difficult…

But when it happens young, it can feel incredibly isolating.

In this episode, I sit down with Ria Kalsi to talk about the reality of young grief: what it’s like being in the minority of people your age going through loss, and why it can feel so hard to relate to others around you.

We also explore the types of grief we don’t always talk about, what school never teaches us about loss, and what meaningful support for young people actually looks like.

A really honest and important conversation.

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 01:02:07

Grief doesn’t just change how you feel…

It changes your relationships too.

In this episode, I sit down with Sally Douglas to talk about why people don’t always show up when you’re grieving, how friendships and family dynamics shift after loss, and how your perspective on people can completely change.

We also get into the reality of grief itself: what it actually feels like day to day, why it’s so hard to explain, and the parts no one really prepares you for.

A really honest conversation about both the internal experience of grief and the external impact it has on the people around you.

Episode 29

Sunday, April 19, 2026 • Duration 59:43

There are conversations we avoid having…

Until it’s too late.

In this episode, I sit down with Sam to talk about something most people don’t think about until they’re already in it — preparing for loss, the conversations we don’t have, and what it’s like to lose someone without saying everything you wish you had.

This isn’t just about grief…

It’s about what happens before it.

We speak about the things left unsaid, why we avoid talking about death, and how thinking about this now can change the way you show up in your relationships.

A powerful and important conversation.

How Do You Live After Losing The Person You Love Most? | Jack Ciapciak

Sunday, April 5, 2026 • Duration 59:00

In this episode of Too Young To Grieve, I sit down with Jack Ciapciak to talk about losing your fiancé and what partner loss actually looks like beyond the surface.

This isn’t just a conversation about grief.

It’s about the life you were building together.

The silence after the funeral.

The physical exhaustion no one prepares you for.

And learning how to carry love when the person isn’t here anymore.

We spoke about:

– What makes losing a partner different from other types of grief

– The shock and physical toll grief takes on your body

– The quiet, lonely moments after everyone goes back to normal

– The pillow his fiancé bought him and why physical objects can hold so much meaning

– How what brings comfort in grief changes over time

– Writing publicly about loss and helping others feel less alone

– What grief has taught him about love

This episode is gentle, honest and deeply human.

If you’ve ever lost “your person,” or you’re trying to understand someone who has - I hope this conversation makes you feel seen.
