Leah: Swimming through Grief into Healing in Denmark [mini]
In this mini travel episode of Heartbeat Narratives, Molly meets Leah Robb on a sunny morning by the river in Copenhagen, Denmark at Islands Brygge. Leah shares how swimming, from high dives to icy winter baths, has become a profound way to move through grief. What started as a tribute to a loved one’s suggestion of "winter bathing," has grown into a ritual of healing and helps her embrace difficult emotions. As an artist, Leah has also transformed her experiences with loss and a friend’s addiction into art exhibitions that spark conversations and inspire young people. Together, Leah and Molly reflect on resilience, mindset and transforming pain into purpose.
