If you’ve ever wished someone would just say the thing you’re thinking out loud, this is for you.
Under the Griefluence is a bonus audio and written series from Blair and Alana, released 1 to 2 times a week alongside the RESILIENT AF podcast. These episodes are short, personal, and intentionally imperfect. Think voice notes, not polished performances.
This is where we talk about what’s really going on. In our lives. In our bodies. In the world. And how all of it intersects with grief, resilience, growth, and being human in a very loud, very complicated time.
Sometimes these episodes are reflections.Sometimes they’re updates.Sometimes they’re us processing something in real time because pretending we have it all figured out never helped anyone.
What is Under the Griefluence?
Under the Griefluence is a space for honest check-ins about life, loss, resilience, and meaning. It’s conversational. It’s real. It’s the kind of content that feels like a friend saying, “Hey, I’ve been thinking about this, and I wanted to tell you.”
You’ll hear about:
* What we’re navigating personally
* What’s happening in the world and how it’s impacting our nervous systems
* Lessons we’re learning the hard way
* Conversations we’d be having if you were sitting across from us with a coffee
No toxic positivity.No hustle-through-it advice.Just grounded, human conversations about resilience as a lived experience.
What is The Global Resilience Project?
The Global Resilience Project is a global storytelling and education platform dedicated to helping people strengthen their resilience muscle through honesty, connection, and practical tools.
At its core, the project exists to normalize conversations about grief, adversity, mental health, and growth. We believe resilience isn’t something you’re born with or without. It’s something you build over time through awareness, support, and practice.
Through books, podcasts, speaking, coaching, community, and education, The Global Resilience Project shares real stories from real people around the world and pairs them with frameworks and tools that help others navigate life’s hardest seasons.
Under the Griefluence is where you get the behind-the-scenes version of that work. The moments between the milestones. The feelings behind the mission.
