Here we go…

Thanks to your suggestions and confidence, we’ve decided to create a substack. We have been overwhelmed by your support of our podcast and our book, for all of your comments at conferences, and for your emails and comments of support.

1. Who we are.

We met in our PhD program at Indiana Tech and stayed in touch. We both always promised ourselves we would do a research project, but it wasn’t until 2023 that we really defined what we felt was needed and in 2024, we started interviewing people about their experiences of grief. This catapulted us into writing a book, hosting a podcast, and starting a business, Moving Forward with Mia and Julia, LLC. You can learn more Julia here and Mia here.

2. We want to eliminate a grief avoidance society.

By interviewing people for our research and on our podcast, one thing is consistent and that is that we don’t talk enough about grieving. This is something each one of us will experience in multiple occasions throughout our lives, but it seems to be the one thing that we are afraid of. By opening up lines of communication and allowing people to share their stories, we have the power to impact others and allow them to know that they are not alone.

3. What you can expect from us.

By subscribing to our substack, you will benefit from monthly newsletters with updates, resources, etc. We will host a discussion board where you can share with one another, and we will have podcast recordings that you can watch at your leisure. Founding members of this substack will also receive $10 off their first grief coaching session.

We hope that you will join us in our efforts to make an impact, support those who are grieving and provide important and relavent content.
