Grieving What You've Lost | Grief Series Episode 2

Welcome back to The Big Sam Podcast, leadership for the rest of us. I'm Big Sam. Today we're continuing our series, Grief: The Weight We Carry, with Episode 2: Grieving What You've Lost. Loss comes in many forms. Sometimes it's the loss of a person. Sometimes it's the loss of a dream, a relationship, your health, or the life you expected to have. Many of us try to move on before we've actually processed what happened. But what we refuse to grieve, we often continue to carry. Today we're talking about why acknowledging loss is one of the most important steps toward healing. Thanks for listening. Let's get started.

Episode 1: Grief Is Holding You Back

Episode 1: Grief Is Holding You Back Grief isn't just about death. It can come from losing a relationship, a dream, your health, a career, or the future you thought you were going to have. In the first episode of this four-part series, Big Sam explores how unresolved grief can quietly affect our relationships, our leadership, and our ability to move forward. Through personal experience and practical insight, he discusses why grief often disguises itself as anger, busyness, isolation, or addiction—and why acknowledging our losses is the first step toward healing. Because grief may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to be the whole story. The Big Sam Podcast — Leadership for the Rest of Us. Until next time, keep moving the needle.
