In this deeply personal episode, Erin opens up about losing her sister Shanin in 2017 and how grief has shaped her life in ways she never expected. Together, Erin and Jaymes explore what no one tells you about how your brain responds to loss, why grief isn’t linear, and the well-meaning things people say that can unintentionally cause more pain.This conversation isn’t about “fixing” grief—it’s about understanding it, sitting with it, and learning how to show up for ourselves and others with more compassion. Whether you’re navigating loss yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honesty, empathy, and a reminder that you’re not alone.Join Erin and Jaymes Lackey for our hyper-positive regional podcast highlighting local individuals in Northern California who have a Heart of Gold.Link to Mel Robbin's episode: https://youtu.be/uSZy6Ww3e6A?si=RJYOPzmAI-ZTZApN

Grab your Santa hat, pour yourself way too much peppermint cocoa, and join Erin and Jaymes for a holiday episode that is… well… delightfully unhinged.

In this episode, we launch into a heated-but-loving debate over real vs. fake Christmas trees (one smells amazing, the other doesn’t shed needles like a cat in July). We also talk about many of our holiday traditions including the best cinnamon roll we've ever eaten. And of course, no festive conversation would be complete without discussing the most controversial cinematic mystery of our time: the Polar Express humanoid animations that live somewhere between “holiday magic” and “please don’t blink at me like that.”

If you’re craving festive chaos, local love, and enough laughter to shake like a bowl full of jelly—this episode is your holiday home.
