SELLEST OSAST
Sometimes the most important conversations are the ones we avoid having. In this deeply personal Lisa Bytes episode, I'm sharing something that's been weighing on my heart - the collective grief we're all moving through right now, and why learning to acknowledge and process it might be one of the most important skills we can develop for what's ahead.
After living through Melbourne's world-record lockdowns and my own journey with grief after Nick's death, I've started to recognise that familiar ache when I think about climate disruption, AI's rapid advance, and how fundamentally our world is changing. We're experiencing loss in real time - and we need to talk about it.
What You'll Learn:
- Why Melbourne's post-COVID experience taught me about collective grief
- How personal grief gave me a lens for understanding what we're all feeling right now
- Why that unsettled feeling about AI and climate change might actually be grief in disguise
- The difference between crying and actually grieving (spoiler: they're not the same thing)
- How grief and joy can absolutely coexist - and why that changes everything
- Why acknowledging loss is the only way to build something beautiful from where we are
