Summary

EPISODE 19: Hunger & Jealousy — How Grief Eats at You In this rereleased episode from The Stages of Grief series, Jessimae dives into the emotional appetite of loss — that weird, hollow feeling that’s part sadness, part starvation. She explores how grief can make you feel insatiable, jealous, and constantly searching for something to fill the space that loss leaves behind. From emotional eating to envy scrolling, she breaks down how grief doesn’t just hurt your heart — it hijacks your hunger. Jessimae also shares how cannabis became part of her healing journey, helping her process pain, stay present, and rediscover moments of peace and humor in between the heaviness. It’s raw, honest, and surprisingly relatable — because sometimes grief doesn’t just break you; it gives you the munchies. 💀 Subscribe, share, and tell your griefiest friend.

1:14.7	mom while they were shopping and home goods together or someone's vacation post while you were
