E47 - Heather Taylor - Grief is the New Normal

Dr. Heather Taylor, PsyD, is a licensed counseling psychologist, grief specialist, and the founder of Grief is the New Normal Psychological Services. She is also the host of the Grief is the New Normal podcast and the creator of the Professional Grief Collective—an initiative focused on equipping clinicians with the tools and confidence to better support grieving clients.

With a blend of clinical insight, lived experience, and a direct, compassionate approach, Dr. Taylor is dedicated to reshaping how individuals and professionals understand grief. Her work centers on de-stigmatizing conversations around loss, helping people recognize that grief is not a condition to “fix,” but a natural and necessary process to be acknowledged and honored.

Through her voice, platforms, and community-based efforts, Dr. Taylor is leading a movement to normalize grief, foster healing, and elevate the quality of care across the mental health field.

About the Podcast

Heroes in Grief
Inspiring people who have done purposeful things with their grief.
I am a bereaved father, a bereaved son, a bereaved brother & a bereaved friend. Listening to other people's stories of how they cope with their death losses has almost always given me useful tools to use in my journey.
The purpose of Heroes in Grief is the same. It is my sincere hope that hearing the remarkable things that grieving people have done to honor their loved ones, or maybe just to cope will encourage you as well.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
