In Part 2 of my conversation with my dear friend, yoga therapist, and fellow widow, Julia Warren, we continue to open up about the raw and real experience of navigating life after loss. We go deeper into what it means to rebuild your identity, find your footing as a solo parent, and make empowered choices that prioritize true healing—not just survival. Together, we explore the emotional layers of grieving while raising children, maintaining your sense of self, and protecting your peace amidst outside opinions, business pressures, and the well-meaning but often overwhelming support of others. This episode sheds light on why authentic community matters, how to recognize when something isn’t aligned for your mental health, and the courage it takes to walk your own path when the world expects you to “be okay” before you are. If you’ve been searching for reassurance, connection, or permission to take healing at your own pace—this conversation is for you. You are not alone in this.
