    Kathryn interviews Author Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LCSW.All of us will experience loss in our lives, and with loss comes grief. Still, nothing really prepares you for the toll grief takes.

With more than two decades of experience as a psychotherapist and trauma specialist, she helps readers make sense of their emotional experience with grief. Meghan is a TEDx speaker and hosts the popular blog and podcast Grief Is My Side Hustle. She offers a free writing workshop, Grief Mates.Kathryn also interviews Author Dr. Dawn Filos.Whether it's a NSFW (not safe for work) encounter with a bra-selling pet parent or a touching farewell to a beloved family dog - Dr. Dawn Filos brings us a variety of tales underscoring the deep connection and mutual affection between pets and their owners. With a blend of touching stories and professional knowledge, she shares her journey from a nervous - and sometimes fainting - veterinary student who lost a prized racehorse - to a confident veterinarian with 3 decades of experience in both Eastern and Western medicine with viral social media videos and an informational, and at times deeply personal blog. Her candid narrative style brings to light the realities of a mobile veterinary practice, where every day is brand new, and every pet has a story worth telling. Retiring after 30 years, she realized a decades-long dream to add “pet portraitist” to her list of talents.
