Since April 2021, Journey to Grateful has been a place for honest conversations about love, loss, and learning to live well with grief.

What began with my own need to better understand life after losing Colleen has grown into hundreds of episodes exploring the many layers of grief—from those first overwhelming days to the years that follow. Along the way, the goal has remained simple: share lived experiences, offer encouragement and understanding, and remind those grieving that they don’t have to walk this road alone.

Journey to Grateful is independently created and produced, and the podcast will remain free for anyone who needs it.

If these conversations have helped you—or helped someone you care about—and you’re in a position to support the continued work of Journey to Grateful, I’ve created a simple way for you to do so.

Your support helps with the ongoing costs of producing and sharing Journey to Grateful while also helping create room for what comes next.

I’m also working to extend the mission of JTG beyond the podcast through thoughtful grief-support resources, conversation tools, and other materials designed to help those navigating loss—and those trying to support someone they love.

There are no membership levels and no special episodes hidden behind a paywall. Supporting Journey to Grateful simply means helping make it possible for this work to continue and grow while remaining available to everyone.

You’re invited to help support its continued journey.

You may choose a one-time contribution or ongoing monthly support. There is never an expectation to give, and the amount is entirely up to you.

Financial support is only one way to help Journey to Grateful continue.

Listen to an episode. Share one with someone who may need it. Tell a friend about the podcast. Reach out to someone who is grieving. Say the name of the person they lost. Take something you’ve heard here and use it to better support someone you love.

Those things matter.

Simply being part of this community matters.

Whether you support Journey to Grateful financially, share the podcast with someone else, or quietly listen each week, I’m grateful you’re here.

Journey to Grateful began because other grieving people helped me understand that I wasn’t alone in what I was experiencing. Their stories became guideposts along a road I had never traveled before.

More than five years later, that remains at the heart of everything I hope to accomplish here.

We share what we’ve learned.

We listen to one another.

We carry love forward.

And we keep walking.

Thank you for helping Journey to Grateful continue doing exactly that.
