A Two-Day Cheating Streak & An Unconventional Healing Journey

Are We Grieving All Wrong? Shadow Work, Ancestors, and Finding Your Way Through Loss

When "be strong and move on" is the only advice you get, how do you truly grieve? In this episode, I sit down with Ellen, who unexpectedly lost her father. She opens up about the painful silence surrounding grief in their community, the self-destructive paths they took to cope, and how they finally found healing. Together, we attempt to answer the tough questions: Why are some losses met with communal support, while others leave us feeling isolated? How can connecting with our ancestors provide peace? And what should you really say to someone who is grieving? This is an essential listen for anyone who has ever felt alone in their pain and is looking for a new perspective on healing, spiritual reconnection, and the strength to grieve at their own pace.

The Breakup of Childhood Bonds & the Rebirth of Adult Friendship

In this episode, I get to have a heart-to-heart with the amazing Adelle Onyango, and we dive deep into the wild world of adult friendships! We chat about why those childhood bonds sometimes fizzle out (turns out, it's not just you!), how therapy helped us both rediscover what true friendship means, and the hilarious yet real struggle of balancing our social lives with… well, everything else adulthood throws at us. We get real about setting boundaries (even with family!), breaking free from people-pleasing, and learning the beautiful art of receiving love from our friends instead of just giving it. It's a conversation filled with "oh my gosh, me too!" moments, practical advice, and a whole lot of heart. If you've ever wondered how to nurture your friendships in this chaotic chapter of life, this one's for you!
