We're making a pact, you and me, right here. We're going to stop avoiding. We're going to lean in. We're going to put ourselves first.

Grief is a tricky beast, often lurking in the shadows and striking when we least expect it. In this poignant episode of 'Sweat & Reflect', host Meredith Coviello shares her deeply personal battle with grief avoidance. Feeling overwhelmed by her emotions after neglecting to honor significant dates related to her late husband Tim, Meredith realized she was spiraling into a dark place. Through therapy, she discovered that her emotional turmoil was a result of not facing her grief head-on.
This episode dives into what grief avoidance looks like, from burying yourself in work to withdrawing from daily life, and even substance abuse. Meredith opens up about her own experiences and the toll it took on her mental and physical health. She emphasizes the necessity of confronting these feelings rather than pushing them aside.
With heartfelt honesty, she offers practical advice on how to start the healing process, reminding listeners that it’s okay to seek support and that they are not alone in their struggles. If you've ever found yourself dodging the pain of loss, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a raw, real conversation about the importance of leaning into our emotions and taking care of our emotional well-being.
