đ«In this deeply personal debut episode, I open up about the raw truth of grief after the loss of my son, the unexpected waves that hit even months later, and how I came to understand that not being okay is not only normalâit's sacred. I share the emotional, spiritual, and physiological impact of deep grief, and how admitting where we are can be the most healing step of all. This is a love letter to anyone whoâs ever felt overwhelmed by life and needed to hear, âItâs okay youâre not okay.â
