Feebee Foran: When grief breaks you open and everything changes

In this episode of Life’s Too Short, I’m joined by Feebee Foran - founder of Forager.ie, nature educator, herbalist, and all-round powerhouse.

Feebee lost her Dad suddenly in just 11 days. What followed was a grief she hadn’t expected - intense, physical, and deeply disorienting. She talks about how she kept pushing forward in her corporate job until one day, she couldn’t anymore.

This conversation explores what happens when grief cracks something open in you - and the slow journey back to yourself through nature, creativity, and doing things differently.

We talk about the impact of grief on the body, the emotional isolation of being the “strong one,” and how she began to reimagine life on her own terms - building a business that feels rooted, healing, and aligned.

This one’s about loss, yes - but also joy, belonging, and remembering who you are.

⚠️ Please note: this episode contains discussion of sudden loss and the physical symptoms of grief.
