How do we make sense of the moments that unmake us? The sting of betrayal, the ache of loss, the quiet burden of trauma, or the startling lucidity of a diagnosis—these experiences carve new contours into the stories we thought we were living. They force us to confront the precariousness of life and seek meaning in the cracks and crevices where it hides.
The Good-Bye is a podcast series that looks closely at the before-and-after moments that redefine a life. Through the stories of individuals profoundly reshaped by pain, sorrow, and grief, it examines the transformations that offer wisdom, a renewed sense of purpose, and a deeper understanding of the beauty and fragility of life.
What makes a life well-lived? How do grief and hardship sharpen our vision of what truly matters? These are the questions that anchor the series, a space where endings are not just conclusions but beginnings, too.
Meet Anna Marie
Anna-Marie Precythe is the host of The Good-Bye, a podcast that explores the moments that unmake us—and what comes after.
For 15 years, Anna-Marie served in the United States Air Force, building a life rooted in purpose, discipline, and stability. She was married, grounded, and imagining a clear path forward. But within the span of a few months, that life unraveled. Her marriage ended. She moved back in with her parents. And then came the diagnosis: her younger brother had terminal cancer.
His death was a fracture point—one that redefined her sense of identity, faith, and what it means to begin again.
The Good-Bye marks Anna-Marie’s first role as a podcast host, but her voice is grounded in lived experience. Through conversations with others navigating loss, she holds space for the raw, complicated, and transformative nature of grief.
At its heart, The Good-Bye is about what we carry, what we let go of, and how we remake our lives in the wake of endings that weren’t part of the plan.
