This episode is for the woman quietly holding everything together, while falling apart inside. The mother. The daughter. The leader. If you've ever found yourself caring for your kids and your aging parents while barely staying afloat… this is your permission slip to breathe. I share the raw, personal story of my mother’s passing, and the unexpected unraveling that followed, physically, emotionally, spiritually. But inside that grief was a quiet invitation: to surrender, to slow down, and to come home to something deeper. We explore: The energetics of grief and how it impacts the body (especially the lungs) What it means to be in the sandwich generation How rituals, rest, and spiritual surrender helps healing Rebuilding from the inside out — without forcing the timeline A reminder: You’re allowed to be in pieces and still be powerful. This isn’t the end, it’s the beginning of a deeper kind of strength.
