Welcome to "griefsense," a bi-weekly podcast for creatives who are grievers. I'm your host, Mimi Gonzalez, guiding you through discussions about life, death, and 'grief sense,' a unique perspective born from my personal loss and confrontation with mortality.

We'll invite guests to share their stories of loss and healing and how they've tapped into this thought exploration of their #griefsense. Together, we'll explore the intersection of grief, creativity, and mortality, striving to normalize these critical conversations.

griefsense is more than a podcast - it's a community where grievers and creatives are invited to explore, heal, and grow together, redefining the conversation around grief and life itself.

Are you a creative & have a #griefsense story? Submit your story on griefsense.com for a chance to be featured!

Don't forget to like, subscribe, & turn on notifications. This is a space for us, by us, and with us.

In solidarity y con mucho amor, Mimi ✊🏽✨
