Rajeev sits down and has a conversation on grief with author Megan Devine.  Grief might be the most universal human experience and Megan shares her personal journey to her work as a grief advocate.  She provides wisdom into developing one’s own grief skills, whether they are needed for personal griefs or to walk into grief with a loved one.  As a loving act toward yourself, listen to this conversation and take a look at all of the amazing resources Megan has available. This may be the most practical episode we’ve ever recorded.

To top it off, Rajeev and Megan play a few rounds of Over/Under.  Somehow avocado toast makes another appearance… but that is not the best part.  Listen to the end.
