In this episode of Beyond Brave, we open up about everything from signs from Bella during therapy to Kyla’s trip to Mexico—where a white seashell by the pool, a lizard named George, and some emotional encounters with strangers made her feel Bella's presence in unexpected ways. We answer your Instagram questions, talk about camping plans at Cypress Hills (Bella’s favorite place), and laugh about how Lyle rarely makes it onto the podcast because he’s “so busy.”
Kyla shares the ongoing mystery of her never-ending cough, her run-in with one of Lyle’s friends at the clinic, and the strange comfort of knowing she’s still carrying Bella’s story—even to beach resorts. We wrap with reflections on Bella’s transplant, parenting Waylon with all our complicated fears, and, of course, a sweet clip of Bella to end the episode.
