When Your World Becomes Senseless with Erika Mahoney

Kelsey and Kathy sit down with journalist and storyteller Erika Mahoney to talk about grief and what happens when the unthinkable happens to you. In 2021, Erika’s life changed in an instant when her dad was killed in the King Soopers shooting in Boulder, Colorado. She shares her raw and deeply human journey — giving birth while grieving, navigating trauma, and ultimately using her skills as a reporter to make sense of the senseless through her podcast, Senseless with Erika Mahoney. Erika opens up about what those early days were really like, how her family and husband supported her, and what she’s learned about grief, resilience, and showing up for others. Whether you’ve lost someone unexpectedly, felt stuck in disbelief, or simply want to understand how people carry on after tragedy, this episode offers honesty, compassion, and hope.
