In this raw and moving episode of The Sonder Effect, Alexa and Mariam sit down with Kaitlin Reagan to talk about the complexities of love, loss, and life after grief. Kaitlin opens up about losing her partner, Francesco, at a young age and the way that kind of heartbreak reshapes identity, relationships, and how we move through the world.
From the quiet ache of grief to the moments of healing, Kaitlin shares what it’s like to grieve in public, rebuild in private, and navigate dating, friendship, and self-trust along the way. We explore how grief lives in the body, the pressure to “move on,” and the guilt that can come with feeling joy again.
Through it all, Kaitlin brings humor, honesty, and heart to a conversation that reminds us: we’re allowed to be works in progress and still worthy of love.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever carried grief in silence, found strength in vulnerability, or needed permission to feel it all.
