Show Notes
In this solo episode, I reflect on the idea of signs; the small, sometimes strange ways we feel our loved ones near after they’re gone.
A song on the radio. A robin in the garden. A moment that feels too precise to be coincidence.
Why do we look for them? What do they mean? And do they actually matter, or is the meaning in how they make us feel?
Through honest reflection and gentle storytelling, I'm exploring how grief sharpens our awareness of the world around us, how comfort doesn’t always need proof, and why believing (or not believing) in signs can both be okay.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Was that them?”, this episode is for you.

More from life's too short
Christmas can intensify grief in ways you don’t expect. For many people, the festive season brings memories, longing, and a deep sense of absence - especially if you’re facing your first Christmas without someone you love.
This week’s episode is one I’ll carry with me for a long, long time.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Annabelle Reynolds for an incredibly honest conversation about complex grief - the kind of grief we don’t often talk about publicly. Annabelle shares the story of her father, a deeply kind and vibrant man whose life changed dramatically after the 2008 recession. Over the years, addiction, shame, and difficult family dynamics reshaped their relationship long before his death from esophageal cancer in 2019.
In this week’s episode of Life’s Too Short, I speak with Morgan Cummins; an executive coach and recruiter who lost his dad suddenly more than 20 years ago. What began as an unimaginable shock became, over time, one of his greatest teachers.
In this solo episode, I explore one of the hardest questions we face after loss, will it always hurt this much?
