Wait... Is This My Life?

2.6: Mental Health Check In

Continuing with the Mental Health Awareness theme for May, this is a solo episode to check in on my current life and how I am feeling. I talk about what has been going on lately, how I have been feeling with my own mental health, and also things that I am trying to work on for myself.

2.5: We Got Generational Issues Instead of Generational Wealth

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, my cousin Carly is back to discuss her experience with mental health and how her grief has tied into it. Carly shares the tools, insights, and lessons she has learned over the years and what she has applied to her own life from working in the mental health field for the past decade. As always with the two of us, we bring a lighthearted tone, along with some laughs, to a topic that can sometimes feel too heavy to talk about.

2.4: That Should Not Be Real Life (Part 2)

In this episode, I continue my conversation with my friend Jen. Jen opens up about her dad, Jack, who passed away seven years ago. She speaks honestly about his struggles over the years and how those challenges shaped their relationship. Jen also shares how her grief has shifted with time and what she has learned along the way. It’s a vulnerable and honest look at the realities of loss and the ongoing process of healing.

2.3: That Should Not Be Real Life (Part 1)

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jen (McCaffrey) Segal to talk about the losses that have shaped her life. She shares memories of her childhood friends, Colleen and Danny. We also reflect on her relationship with my sister, Marissa, and how Marissa’s passing has stayed with her and how her grief has changed over the years. Jen's episode has been separated into two parts. Part 2 will air as the next new episode.

2.2: Brain Fog, Feelings, and Other Grief Shenanigans

For this episode, my Mom joins me and we get into all the ways grief has scrambled our brains — the fog, the forgetfulness, the “wait… what was I doing?” moments. We also share some of the funny stories that have come out of the past few years, the ones that remind us we're human and still able to laugh even when things are hard. It’s honest, light, and a little chaotic in the best way (fitting for how we are).
