In today’s episode of Coffee & Commiseration, we’re talking about grief (how parents and other family members grieve differently and how to find each other in your respective grief journeys), how to respond to stupid shit people say when you’re going through something hard, how I keep going and living a life of meaning amidst soul-shattering loss, and what motivates me to do everything I do. Thank you for tuning in!

The Kaye Steinsapir Podcast
In 47 years, I've experienced a rough childhood, a homeless mom, academic and professional success against the odds, cancer that torpedoed my law career and left me nothing like it found me, the death of our daughter in the midst of a global pandemic, and our town burning down. I've found purpose and manage to embrace this life, which is nothing like the one I envisioned. We'll talk about everything here. By revealing our truths, we let others know they're never alone. This podcast shares the stories, triumphs and struggles of folks from all walks of life.
