33: Rewriting the Way We Grieve with Kelly Daugherty

By Key Performance | February 5, 2026

Rewriting the way we grieve isn’t about forgetting or moving on. It’s about honoring what we’ve lost, while still choosing to live with intention and love.

Grief changes us, but it doesn’t have to stop us from moving forward.

In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with grief counselor and founder of the Center for Informed Grief, Kelly Daugherty, for a conversation that blends science, spirituality, and real-life experience in the most human way.

Kelly’s journey into grief work began as a teenager after losing her mother to breast cancer, and that lived experience has shaped a career dedicated to helping others navigate loss with compassion, resilience, and connection. 

We unpack what grief actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not about five stages), why resilience isn’t about “getting over it,” and how we can rewrite the way we grieve by staying connected to our emotions, our values, and the people we’ve lost.

This episode blends science, spirituality, and real-life insight in the most human way. It’s for anyone who has experienced loss, or loves someone who has. Because rewriting the way we grieve opens the door to more than healing. It opens the door to a deeper kind of living.
