In this episode of Good Grief, we sit down with my sister Anna Kloots for one of the most honest conversations we've had. Anna is a writer and travel influencer known for her blog Travel Outside The Box and her book My Own Magic, and she's spent the last few years rebuilding her life more than once- first through a devastating divorce that sent her all the way to Paris to start over, and more recently through the heartbreak of a miscarriage.
We talk about how our parents shaped the way we process emotion, why Anna's therapy session revealing her ex-husband wanted a divorce became one of the most traumatic moments of her life, and what gave her the courage to move to Paris with five suitcases and not a single person she knew. We also get into the grief no one prepares you for - miscarriage - and the well-meaning but painful comments Anna received afterward, plus what actually helped her get through it: writing, walking, and simply being acknowledged.
This conversation is proof that grief doesn't just knock you down - it can force you to rebuild a life you didn't even know you wanted.
