In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Gen to talk about grief within our family and how loss has impacted each of us in different ways. We share personal stories, reflect on the memories that continue to bring light into our lives, and talk about what it means to move forward while still holding space for those we’ve lost.

We also explore the beauty of welcoming new life and how hope can exist alongside grief. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry both love and loss together.

In part one of this two part series, I talk with my former coach, Katie, about loss, grief, and the profound impact of those who shape our lives. From losing parents to mentors, we discuss how support systems help us navigate life's emotional rollercoaster and ways to honor those no longer with us.

In Chapter 8, I sit down with Madeline as we talk about the loss of her dad and the reality of navigating grief at a young age. We open up about the guilt that can come with grief and how it shapes the way we show up in our relationships.

We also share how our faith has grounded us through the hardest moments and reflect on the idea that grief doesn’t always have to feel so heavy. There can be space for memories, connection, and even lightness along the way.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of grief or questioned how to carry it, this conversation is for you.
