An unconventional childhood and a “never give up attitude” combined with extreme flexibility have led Ivanka Farrell on a journey of upward mobility as well as a front row seat to some of the most important people and campaigns of the past 2 decades.

Grief isn't something we fix. It's something we live with.

In this episode, I talk with Nick Gaylord, a force of nature who's goal is to change the world one grief story at a time. Nick has recently launched his newly rebranded podcast Grief Is Not A Dirty Word (formerly Our Dead Dads). Nick's mission is simple and powerful, change our perception of loss by making space for grief stories from every aspect of life.

Nick and I talk about loss, language, and what happens when we stop treating grief like a secret. This is a conversation about honesty, humanity, and the quiet courage it takes to speak what hurts.

Thanks for listening. If you know someone who is grieving share this episode or the links to Nick's podcast. As a person who has experienced tragic loss in the last few years, listening to stories Nick's guests have shared has helped me immensely.

Merry Holidays. See you all in 2026 on Season 3 of Another Empty Kitchen. Sending love and as always,

While I reorganize my life, I am revisiting some of the most popular episodes from Another Empty Kitchen. This episode is very near and dear to my heart; my interview with author and badass adventure woman, Caroline Paul. Caroline shares inspiring experiences from her own life, as well as women who, in the later years of their lives, decided to step way out of their comfort zones and take on challenges they might never have imagined earlier in their lives. From climbing to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, to bird watching to BASE jumping, Caroline shares these stories in her books, The Gutsy Girl and Tough Broad. She challenges all of us to get out doors, get into nature, change our perspective and maybe even add a few good years to our lives. I love this episode. Please give it a listen, whether it is your first visit to my podcast, or you are a loyal follower, I know you will get some inspiration from Tough Broad, Caroline Paul. Thanks for being here. I appreciate all of you. Leave me a comment on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or my website, While I reorganize my life, I am revisiting some of the most popular episodes from Another Empty Kitchen.
