About this week’s episode
I’ve spoken to today’s guest, Shelby in S3E29 so I recommend listening to her personal story there.
For today's episode, I invited Shelby back to speak about the topic of loss and/or trauma, at least for some, experienced following the most recent new election of the American president or how she worded it in one of her newsletters: “Thoughts for election despair” and how it affects her.
Upon my invitation to speak with her for the podcast, Shelby wrote to me: “Full disclosure: I'll be coming with my progressive perspective as a woman, queer person, and grief business owner, so I really can't speak to the perspective of anyone who's overjoyed at Trump's return to office.”
About this week’s guest
Shelby Forsythia (she/her) is a grief coach, author, and podcast host. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.
Following her mother’s death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a “student of grief” and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced. Her work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, Newsweek, and The Oprah Magazine. She considers herself a politically progressive, honoring her identities as a queer woman and grief guide.
