This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Chanell, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and mental health advocate, for an important conversation about supporting children through grief and loss. 🤍

Together, we explore how grief can show up in children emotionally, mentally, and behaviorally — even when they don’t have the words to express what they’re feeling. We talk about practical ways to show love and support in everyday moments, how to recognize signs a child may be struggling, and what it looks like to help children build resilience while still honoring their emotions and experiences.

A gentle, meaningful conversation about healing, connection, and showing up for little hearts in big ways.

In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Gen to talk about grief within our family and how loss has impacted each of us in different ways. We share personal stories, reflect on the memories that continue to bring light into our lives, and talk about what it means to move forward while still holding space for those we’ve lost.

We also explore the beauty of welcoming new life and how hope can exist alongside grief. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning how to carry both love and loss together.

In part one of this two part series, I talk with my former coach, Katie, about loss, grief, and the profound impact of those who shape our lives. From losing parents to mentors, we discuss how support systems help us navigate life's emotional rollercoaster and ways to honor those no longer with us.
