Grief, menopause and saying the unsayable with Leslie Gray Streeter

What happens when the worst thing happens, and you survive? In this funny, fearless and deeply human conversation, journalist and memoirist Leslie Gray Streeter joins host Stephen Rumford to talk about life after the sudden death of her husband Scott.

Together they explore what grief really feels like, the messiness, the humour, the fury, and the pressure to be resilient. Leslie shares how widowhood changed her, why she’s done saying sorry for taking up space, and what menopause and mourning have in common.

From dating disasters to fixing-up houses, writing a book to parenting through pain, this is a joyful, direct and honest conversation about what it means to live on, with love, with sadness, and with no intention of keeping quiet.
