97: Losing My Mom: Grief, Love, And The Messy Truth
This episode is different. It’s not about lifting heavier, chasing goals, or even finding motivation. It’s about grief—deep, human, life-altering grief. A few weeks ago, I lost my mom unexpectedly. And in the middle of everything I’m feeling, I knew I wanted to sit down and share this… because we don’t talk about grief enough. We avoid it. We dance around it. But it’s one of the few things that every single one of us will experience. In this solo episode, I open up about the moment I got the call that changed everything, the complicated and very real relationship I had with my mom, and the invisible weight of grief—what it feels like to move through the world while carrying something no one else can see. I talk about the things I wish I said, the things I’ll never get to say, and what has actually helped me feel supported in this early, disorienting stage of loss. This episode is raw, emotional, and honest. I recorded it not because I have answers, but because I needed to give grief a voice—and maybe help someone else feel less alone in theirs. If you’re grieving… I’m with you.And if you’re not, I hope this helps you show up for someone who is. Take care of your heart.I’m taking care of mine, too.
