25: Grief, Emotions and Healing, with Mandy Capehart

Grief isn’t just about loss—it’s about life, transitions, and the quiet spaces where emotions go unspoken. In this episode of Social Leopards, Bea and Beth sit down with certified grief educator and somatic practitioner Mandy Capehart to unravel the many types and layers of grief that are beyond mourning. From unmet expectations to personal transformation, Mandy shares her own journey and the healing power of restorative grief. Together, they explore how to navigate emotions, offer support without overstepping, and create safe spaces for resilience. Whether you're carrying loss or simply navigating life's changes, this episode will remind you: grief doesn’t have to define you—it can guide you.
