    There are moments in life that split us in two. After losing her brother to suicide in 2003, Heather Holt reflects on turning grief into purpose—from advocacy and awareness to storytelling that creates space for honesty, connection, and hope for anyone learning how to carry loss with compassion, courage, together.

    In this episode, Sandra’s story opened a deeper conversation for me—not only as a podcast host, but as an intuitive and a human who has spent years listening beneath the surface. When we talk about being cracked open, we often think about trauma or life-altering events that force us to stop. Yet, there’s another kind Read more

    After recording Trent’s episode — hearing him talk about compassion, stigma, and the quiet ache families carry through addiction — I found myself reflecting on my own family addiction recovery story.
