In this episode, Caroline is joined by her special guest Karla Smiley. Karla found Caroline over 2 years ago on Facebook, while in a time of deep grief, and they developed a friendship over that time. Karla shares her heart-wrenching story of losing her son Jimmy at 27, and how she's been navigating grief with the support of Caroline, a community and the power of getting up and getting dressed every day. Learn about how honesty, openness, and little daily actions help Karla through her toughest times. Discover the importance of community, kindness, and finding joy even in hard times. This episode is about healing, hope, and human connections that keep us going.
