Some weeks we have happy hour, and some weeks we have sad hour. (Such is life, amiright?!).

In this deeply honest episode of Big Witches Go Wild!, we step right into the heart of our family’s story, sharing how the losses of our mom and our baby sister, Hailey, fundamentally altered our worlds. We reflect on how grief—raw and consuming—demanded not just survival, but real transformation. Through candid conversation, we reveal the ways that loss caused us to become untethered from the life we knew, pushed us into reimagining what connection means, and ultimately taught us to carry both deep deep sorrow and hope side by side.

In this trip into some of our darkest hours, we don't sugarcoat the pain or skip to “silver linings.” Instead, we linger in what’s real: the confusion, the disorientation, the long, hard work of grieving—and the unexpected moments life gifts us when presence returns, sometimes in the form of hummingbirds, lights, or unforgettable dreams.

We still find space for laughter, sibling solidarity, and wild memories (like roasting veggies while living side by side with rats in London), to the daily activities that keep us human, like changing preferences around coaching our own kids in volleyball, that help carry us forward.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to be changed—enlarged—by the hardest things, or if you’re searching for how to hold joy and loss at once, this conversation is for you.

We are so grateful you are here with us, on this messy, painful, beautiful ride. Until next time. xo
