Grief, Loss & Healing Without Pretending | Christina Workman

Christina Workman is a grief coach and podcast host who helps people navigate loss, heartbreak, and healing — not by rushing the process, but by meeting it honestly. A former nurse who worked extensively with end-of-life and oncology patients, she has also lived profound personal loss: the death of her youngest son at 18 and later experiences of estrangement.

Grief is something everyone experiences, but very few people know how to talk about. This is a conversation about loss, identity, and what it really means to heal without pretending.

In this honest discussion, Christina shares:

• How she understood life and identity before major loss

• What nursing and end-of-life work taught her about death

• What young people often misunderstand about grief and emotional pain

• How the loss of her son reshaped every part of her world

• Navigating estrangement and reclaiming self-worth

• Moving forward with honesty while keeping memory alive

If you’re in your 20s carrying grief, heartbreak, or the pressure to “be okay,” this episode offers space, validation, and real perspective.
