Grief doesn’t come with a roadmap—and it definitely doesn’t fit into a 3-day leave policy. In this episode, Heather sits down with Rebecca Feinglos, founder of Grieve Leave, to talk about what it really looks like to take time to mourn. After losing both of her parents and going through a divorce, Rebecca quit her job in 2021 to dedicate a full year to grieving—and she documented every step. That journey grew into Grieve Leave, a platform and movement that now supports over 25,000 people navigating all kinds of losses. Rebecca shares how we can all give ourselves permission to feel, process, and heal—without apology. This conversation is candid, validating, and a much-needed reminder that there’s no wrong way to grieve.
