Popular podcaster, Jordy Glassner, has died aged, 34, after revealing she was battling brain cancer and had developed numbness in several areas of her body
Grief podcaster, Jordy Glassner, has sadly died, aged 34, after a heartbreaking battle with brain cancer.
The co-host of the Grief Street podcast, titled Where Hearts Meet, Heal and Hope Together, had undergone surgery in 2023 to remove a tumour and seemed to be recovering well. However, after complaining of numbness in her body, a later biopsy revealed Jordy had a grade 4 glioblastoma, which ultimately took her life.
Paying tribute to the mum-of-one, the therapist’s family revealed she had died on Tuesday, sharing on her official Instagram and podcast page: “It is with profound sadness that we share that on Tuesday afternoon, Jordy Glassner passed away peacefully at her home. She was simply the best.”

Encouraging fans to share their memories of Jordy, it concluded: “In lieu of private messages, we encourage everyone near and far to share any stories, memories, or words about Jordy in the comments. Everyone deserves to know how much she meant to the world.” Responding to the poignant post, Jordy’s followers flocked to share their condolences, with many saying how much they would miss her.
Admitting they were “heartbroken” by the loss, one said: “Heartbroken to see this. I followed Jordy’s journey with GBM [glioblastoma] alongside my dad’s who passed away a year ago. The most awful disease that has stolen the most incredible people from us.”
A second said: “I love you Jordy. I will miss you for the rest of my life. You didn’t deserve this fate but you were so brave.” A third added: “RIP Jordy. It was a blessing to work with you and I am heartbroken to hear you are no longer with us. Praying for you and your family.”
Meanwhile, another Instagram post from Jordy’s childhood friend and podcast co-host, Erika Rozmid, shared snaps of the pair together, with a heartbreaking caption. It read: “There will never be enough words to describe the pain of losing my person- or for the heartbreak of watching GBM take so much from her over the last 2.5 years. I was robbed of raising my children alongside hers.
“I have never known a big life moment without Jordy. She’s been there since we were five years old, walking me to the nurse’s office. All I want is to call her and ask how I’m supposed to survive this life without her. I miss my person deeply.”
Jordy and Erika started the Grief Street podcast in 2024 to ‘navigate the twists and turns of grief’ with its listeners. Explaining that the venture was ‘born from a friendship that started as kindergarten classmates’, the women told their followers, they were ‘here to offer a shoulder, an ear and insights into the grieving process’.
