Hey friends – welcome to Thoughtful Human, the podcast. We’ll be talking with individuals and experts about everything from cancer, addiction, grief, and mental health, to some highly stigmatized, often taboo subjects like herpes, domestic violence, suicide, and more.
If the mention of any of these subjects makes you feel a little uneasy, well, that's exactly the point. We’ll use this space to explore why these subjects are so hard to discuss, and how we can break down barriers to communication and get our loved ones the support they need. Each episode, we’ll leave you with tangible tips to help you move through your own roadblocks and approach these conversations in your relationships.

Ep. 5: Navigating Loss & Grief in Your 20s (and Beyond)
Janine is the owner and designer of Kwohtations, a Brooklyn-based stationery company that celebrates the diversity of identities and life experiences, with a distinct humor and empathy.
She is also the author and illustrator of the forthcoming book Welcome to the Grief Club , which addresses many of the surprising, confusing, brutal, funny, and downright bizarre parts of grief.
Throughout our conversation, we discuss the unexpected loss of Janine’s partner and the distinct challenges of navigating grief in your 20s, the evolution of grief from day 1 to year 5 and 10, to some of our most strange and inconsistent grief behaviors, moments of frustration and invincibility, and of course, some tips for those who are currently grieving and those who are supporting a loved one in this process.
