What happens when a teenager loses a parent?

In this episode, I sit down with Aubrey Galyon, daughter of longtime Mom Goes On member and coach Jamie Galyon, to hear her perspective on losing her dad when she was just nine years old. Aubrey's journey through grief led her to write a poetry book called Prevernal Winds, which captures her experience from diagnosis through the intensity of early grief to learning to live with loss.

Listen in as Aubrey shares openly about the confusion she felt during her dad’s illness and passing, the guilt she carried about how she spent her time with him, and what actually helped her process her grief over the years. Whether you're a widowed mom wondering how to support your teenager or simply want to understand what grief can look like through a young person's eyes, this conversation offers a rare and valuable perspective.

When you've lost your person, the question of whether you're ready to love again can stir up so many emotions all at once.

In this episode, I explore this tender question that might be quietly lingering in your mind, whether you've said it out loud or not.

Join me this week to discover why feeling sad about your person's death doesn't mean you're not ready for another relationship, and how wanting love has nothing to do with how much you loved your person. Most importantly, you'll learn what readiness actually looks like so you can answer this question in a way that feels aligned with who you want to be.

What if being single isn't something to fix or change, but actually a valid life choice worth celebrating? Maybe you're feeling pressure from family and friends to start dating. Or perhaps you're wondering if it's even possible to truly thrive on your own. Here's what I know: the narrative that we need to be coupled to be happy is just that: a narrative. And it's one we can rewrite.

This week, I’ve invited Lucy Meggeson, author of Thrive Solo and host of the Thrive Solo podcast, to join me for this week's episode. Lucy has been single for over 8 years and she's living proof that solo life can be just as joyful, meaningful, and fulfilling as being partnered.

Join us on this episode to hear Lucy’s own revolutionary approach to single life, and how being single can be just as meaningful and joyful as partnered life, with its own unique freedoms and opportunities.
