Amber Jeffrey on grief and having tough conversations at work

Listen on

Episode notes

This week, I’m joined by Grief Gang's Amber Jeffrey, a podcaster, speaker, and grief mentor.


Despite tackling a challenging topic, I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, which was filled with laughter and positivity. We explore how grief is often hidden in the workplace, how creating space for these conversations can help people heal, and why connecting during tough times matters. I finished our conversation feeling more confident about discussing these tough topics—and I hope this episode does the same for you.


TALKING POINTS:


  • How the loss of her mum inspired Amber to start The Grief Gang.
  • The challenge of navigating grief at work and why it's often avoided.
  • The power of creating a space for conversations about loss and vulnerability.
  • Amber’s journey in building The Grief Gang community and why community support is crucial.
  • Practical ways to be there for someone dealing with grief—at work and beyond.
