It's Your Loss Podcast: Episode 11 - From I to We

Have a loss you want to get out there? Have grief symptoms that others might deem unusual? Get in touch. sittinwithyou@gmail.com [sittinwithyou@gmail.com] Johnny didn’t just lose relationships — he lost who he thought he was. In this episode, he and Michael talk through what it means to come face to face with your own flaws, especially the ones that have hurt people you love. They dig into Johnny’s path from self-protection and pride to therapy, faith, and the kind of honesty that rebuilds you from the inside out. It’s a conversation about grief — not just for lost marriages, but for the old self you have to let go of to grow. Together, they explore how narcissism forms, what it takes to untangle from it, and why vulnerability might be the real sign of strength.
