What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this heartfelt episode of Mental Health News Radio, Christal Pennic, a licensed therapist and grief advocate, shares her personal journey through the pain of losing her sibling and how she transformed that pain into purpose. As the host of The GRIP Spot podcast, Christal has created a unique space for people to 'Grieve In Peace,' allowing for the expression of often unspoken stories of loss.
She offers listeners a compassionate and authentic perspective on grief, emphasising that healing is possible even when life feels shattered. Throughout the episode, Christal and host Kristen Sinanta-Walker discuss the importance of addressing grief, especially in the context of the collective trauma experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Christal shares her own story of sibling loss and how it led her to establish The Grief Center in Nashville, where she supports individuals facing grief and mental health challenges.
Her journey from personal tragedy to becoming a grief therapist is both moving and inspiring. Christal also talks about the transition of her podcast from audio-only to a visual format on YouTube, which has attracted a more diverse audience and opened up new avenues for discussion. Her podcast, The GRIP Spot (Grieve In Peace), creates a safe space for people to express their emotions and find solace in shared experiences.
This episode is not just about understanding grief but also about finding peace amidst life's storms. Are you ready to explore how to grieve in peace?
