On this edition of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler sit down with Theresa Bruno – celebrity jewelry designer, host of The Soul Talks Podcast, and author of the new book He’s Not Coming Back: Rewriting Life After Loss (April 2025).

In this heartfelt conversation, Theresa shares insights on navigating grief during the summer season, when expectations of joy and togetherness can sometimes clash with the realities of loss. She discusses how to honor your emotions, find healing rituals, and give yourself permission to not feel “okay” when the world says you should.

Highlights include:

Why summer can be especially difficult when grieving

How to handle guilt, stress, and isolation around vacations and gatherings

Small, meaningful ways to carry loved ones with you

The role of nature, water, and fresh air in supporting healing

Honest ways to communicate your needs without pretending
