Episode 2: Stephanie Shweiki
In this episode of The Unraveling Club, Carrie turns the mic on Stephanie. We travel back in time to one of the most defining periods of Stephanie’s life—losing both of her parents within just 16 months. This kind of grief didn’t just break her heart; it unraveled her sense of identity, safety, and the story she thought her life was meant to follow. She shares what those months were truly like, what surprised her most about grief, and how sitting inside that pain ultimately became the inspiration for creating The Unraveling Club. This community and podcast was born from the belief that while grief changes us forever, it can also open the door to deeper connection, meaning, and growth.

Episode 3: Carrie Kroop
In the third episode of The Unraveling Club, Stephanie sits down with Carrie to talk about one of the most painful chapters of her life: losing her mother to suicide. At the time, Carrie was a new mom living in Arizona when she had to fly back home to Montreal with her young family to bury her mother and face an unimaginable kind of grief. She shares what it was like to navigate those early days of loss, and how her grief didn’t fully surface until later—after the birth of her second child—revealing itself in a delayed and deeply personal way. Carrie opens up about the complexity of grieving a parent lost to suicide, and the path she took toward healing. She reflects on how her yoga practice became a lifeline, offering her the support and grounding she needed to slowly find her way back during one of the most challenging times in her life.
