griefsense with Mimi Gonzalez

Welcome to "griefsense," a bi-weekly podcast for creatives who are grievers. I'm your host, Mimi Gonzalez, guiding you through discussions about life, death, and 'grief sense,' a unique perspective born from my personal loss and confrontation with mortality.

We'll invite guests to share their stories of loss and healing and how they've tapped into this thought exploration of their #griefsense. Together, we'll explore the intersection of grief, creativity, and mortality, striving to normalize these critical conversations.

griefsense is more than a podcast - it's a community where grievers and creatives are invited to explore, heal, and grow together, redefining the conversation around grief and life itself.

Hey #griefsense familia!

Tune in to an intimate heart-to-heart with Pabel Martinez, a proud Dominicano, New Yorker, and the soon-to-be tech founder behind Plurawl's upcoming app. But that's not all—Pabel’s a powerhouse: the creative genius behind the top 2% podcast, "Quien Tu Eres?".

In this episode, Pabel opens up about his mission to redefine professionalism, sharing how he’s intertwined self-discovery and authenticity. Dive deep as he reflects on the power of shared experiences and the sheer humanity of realizing we're not alone in our struggles. "we swear that our experiences are so individualistic...So as soon as you find somebody else, it literally makes you feel normal and human " Pabel states, shedding light on the importance of vulnerability and connection.

Pabel opens up about navigating the anticipatory grief for his Abuela who is still alive. He also reflects on the loss of his Abuelo as well as his life and legacy. His honesty is refreshing as he shares about the unexpected blessing found amidst the chaos of losing his job – the precious gift of quality time spent with his Abuelo before his passing. Pabel gets real, confessing, “I'm actually very grateful I was fired.” It’s a raw and real exploration of finding beauty in the storms of life.

We’re not just keeping it heavy though! Slide into lighter moments as Pabel & Mimi share which songs would be on their funeral playlists, with Pabel humorously saying, “I don't know why, but my mind instantly went to Meek Mill, Dreams and Nightmares."

Join Pabel and Mimi as they navigate the spectrum of grief, love, legacy, and life, illuminating how we can find authenticity, community, and connection amidst it all. In honor of Pabel's grandfather inspiring the way Pabel lives his life, remember to "keep dreaming and dream big. You know you dream big enough when people call you crazy. So until they call you crazy, dream bigger."

You can connect with Pabel on all platforms @Plurawl and add him on LinkedIn at Pabel Martinez. Stay tuned & join the waitlist for the launch of Plurawl's AI-powered journaling app designed to spark and support your journey of self-discovery.
