Shelby Forsythia | Grief Coach, Author, Podcaster

I'm a grief coach, author, and podcast host that helps grieving people build lives they love from the lives loss forced them to live. 

In 2020, I founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.

Following my mother’s sudden death in 2013, I began calling myself a “student of grief” and devote my days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, I guide my clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they’ve faced.

My work has been featured in Huffington Post, Bustle, and The Oprah Magazine.
