More from Women of Steel with Miriam Grace
How do we heal from loss? When Nicky lost Kim, she was heard and supported and she found meaning, expression and autonomy around her trauma.
Glowing, blossoming, blooming! These are words associated with pregnant women. But they are not just words they are expectations. Pregnant women are often grieving too and even those who do go on to have children will experience some empty nest syndrome later on. Today we welcome Rebecca Louis from Mama Blossom to talk about real women, real pregnancy and real feelings. Of course this will include tales of joy too.
This week Miriam talks with Susie Stonefield (she/her)—artist, expressive-arts facilitator, and self-described “midwife of creativity and grief”. Susie shares how art journaling became her lifeline during her late-in-life coming-out journey, helping her move from a 30-year marriage to building a passion-driven career and a joyful new home in Chico, California. Together they explore how creativity can turn life’s messiness into meaning, how to navigate fear when starting over, and why making art is a powerful way to process both grief and growth.
Just a few days after returning from the OUT & WILD FESTIVAL where Rosie Wilby and Miriam Grace ran their workshop Relationship Revolution, they catch up to debrief the impact of the workshop. Rosie, a life long, or "Pioneer Lesbian" as Miriam calls them, and Miriam, a Later-In-Life Lesbian discuss some of the differences in perception between both these groups. Looking at libido, conscious uncoupling and historical lesbian community and life under Section 28. Is the end of a relationship the catastrophe we think it is? Listen in, send in your responses and ideas.
In this Season Special, Miriam talks to her partner, Finn, about mental health, the kindness of strangers, how the natural world can bring us healing and improved wellbeing, as well as the concept of 'appropriate rescue'.
