"Let's change the conversation. Let's talk about grief like we talk about the weather." —Victoria Volk
Life can look fine on the outside while something underneath stays unresolved. Anger, numbness, anxiety, and self-sabotaging habits often point to grief we were never taught how to process. This conversation meets that reality without fixing, shaming, or spiritual bypassing.
The Unleashed Heart author, Victoria Volk, shares how unprocessed grief reshaped her identity and eventually led her to build a body-based, evidence-informed approach to healing that moves people from survival into real expansion.
Press play and sit with this conversation, then explore the themes that matter most right now:
Grief beyond death and why endings linger in the body
Trauma versus grief and how they interact
STERBs and the behaviors grief often hides behind
Rebuilding identity after life breaks open
What thriving actually looks like after loss
Living fully while carrying grief, not erasing it
