Grief knocked on my door this week, and it brought with it a storm of emotions I wasn't prepared for—will you let me share this journey with you? Sometimes life's most challenging lessons come unannounced, and together in this episode, we explore the multitude of responses our hearts can have when dealing with profound loss. From the heartache of saying goodbye to the numbness that can follow, I offer my honest experiences with grief, not as a polished set of answers but as a companion walking beside you through the mist.

This week, we don't have guests; instead, we create a communal space to understand that while grief is deeply personal, it's also a shared human experience, one that binds us together in our most vulnerable moments. I open up about seeking support from loved ones, practicing self-care, and finding moments of peace and healing through honoring memories. Whether you're currently weathering your own grief or supporting someone who is, this episode is an embrace, a place of solace, and a reminder that you're not alone on this path to healing.

Thank you for listening!
