    What happens when you spend your whole life taking care of others… but no one ever taught you how to care for yourself?


    In this raw and tender episode, my best friend shares her story. Between deep silences and heavy sighs, we talk about the invisible labor and quiet sacrifices of caregiving and the loneliness that creeps in, the fear of loving again, and the slow, relentless way grief takes root.


    I don't think this is a story about tragedy, but rather about the strength it takes to stay, to care, and to keep going while learning to find and love yourself.

  • Grief as Transformation

    Grief as Transformation
    2025/05/15
    In this special solo episode, I take a moment to pause and reflect on the powerful stories we’ve heard so far and on how grief is so raw and profound that it changes us in ways we never expected. Loss is about what is gone, but grief is about what is left... It cracks us open, strips away what we thought we knew, and invites us into a deeper, more honest version of who we are. And today, I want to reflect on this through my own story. Because grief is not the end of your story, it’s what shapes your next chapter. I hope you’ll listen. I hope you’ll share. And most of all, I hope this opens the door to conversation, reflection, and community. 🛑 Listener discretion is advised: This episode includes reflections on termination of pregnancy, domestic violence, and eye surgeries. Please take care as you listen.

    Bárbara join us from México in this episode which is close to my heart: my sister's story. In her own words, she walks us through the experience of growing up in our home, navigating addiction, finding her way to sobriety, and making meaning from some of the deepest losses, including the death of our parents. While we lived many of these moments side by side, this is her lens, her experience, and I’m so grateful she chose to share it with such honesty and courage. 🛑 Listener discretion is advised. This episode includes mentions of addiction and reflections on past suicidal ideation. We recognize this may be specially difficult for those who are sensitive to the subject. If you're in a tender place, please take care as you decide if now is the right moment to listen. I think this is a story of resilience, reflection, and how even pain can hold the seeds of perspective.
