Grief has a way of rearranging the world. In this episode, we sit with the kind of loss that leaves a silence you can feel—the kind that comes when someone we love dies. We talk about the shock of absence, the way memories can comfort and cut at the same time, and the heaviness that settles in once the funeral ends and the world moves on. Together, we explore what it means to navigate grief when support fades… and what it means when there was no support to begin with. We talk about the loneliness of mourning without a shoulder to lean on, the unexpected places where comfort sometimes appears, and the quiet moments that reveal strength we didn’t know we had. We also step into a conversation rarely spoken aloud: becoming the elder. What happens when the people we once turned to are gone, and suddenly we’re the ones holding the wisdom, the stories, the lineage. This episode is an invitation to name the pain, honor the love, and consider how joy slowly returns—not by replacing what was lost, but by carrying it forward. If you’ve ever grieved in silence, felt forgotten after the funeral, or wondered how to keep living with a heart that’s been broken open, this conversation is for you.

We’re back in the garden, y’all. For our Season 2 premiere!! We’re taking a deeper look at the year we just lived, and talking about our hits, our misses, and everything in between. Instead of making resolutions, we decided to reset — to realign, recenter, and return to ourselves with intention. This episode is equal parts laughter, reflection, and truth‑telling as we unpack what we’re carrying forward. And as always, we’re holding space for you to do the same. We’re so excited to grow with you this season. Pull up a chair — the garden is open
