Host Wendy Jones sits down with Victoria Volk, owner of The Unleashed Heart and an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, to discuss the six common myths of grief and why so many people struggle to process loss in healthy ways.

Victoria explains that grief is about more than death—it can stem from the loss of relationships, health, dreams, and expectations. She shares practical insights on recognizing unresolved grief, expressing emotions honestly, and taking intentional steps toward healing.

Key Highlights in this Episode:
The Six Myths of Grief: Why messages like "be strong," "keep busy," and "time heals all wounds" can actually delay healing.
Grief Beyond Loss: Learn how major life changes, broken relationships, and unmet expectations can all create grief that deserves attention.
Healthy Healing: The importance of acknowledging emotions, seeking support, and using practical tools like the Grief Recovery Method to move forward.
Faith and Hope: Wendy and Victoria explore how faith, hope, and helpful resources can provide comfort and encouragement throughout the grieving process.
