After Addiction: A Story of Loss and Growth with Kimberly Griggs
Tue Feb 03 2026
Some conversations stay with you long after the recording ends, and this is one of them.
In this episode of The Nourisher Podcast, I sit down with Kimberly Griggs, owner of Ignite Consulting & Coaching, for an honest conversation about loss, resilience, and the quiet work of rebuilding a life you never planned for.
Kimberly shares her story of losing her father to cancer, and just six weeks later, losing her husband at a young age due to addiction all while raising three small children. We talk about what it means to navigate profound grief, how Al-Anon became a lifeline in her healing journey, and the moment she realized that growth doesn’t come from fixing others, but from letting go of control.
This episode isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about sitting in the middle of change, listening to that small inner voice, and slowly learning who you are on the other side of survival.
Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!
The Nourisher Podcast is for the woman who feels alone in her journey and is yearning for connection and sisterhood built upon vulnerability, authenticity, and open hearts.
