In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving journey of grief—comparing the raw intensity of Year One to the complex, transitional nature of Year Two. We open up about the different battles each phase brings: the overwhelming weight and survival mode of Year One, and the quiet reckoning and self-honoring that starts to emerge in Year Two.
We also reflect on Taylor Swift’s “The Manuscript” and how its final lines struck a profound chord with us. The idea that we've told the story—and now, it’s no longer ours—felt like a mirror to our own healing process. As we continue to live and love beyond the loss, we talk about what it means to release the narrative while still honoring the memory.
Tune in for an honest, tender conversation about grief’s evolution, the truths that music helps us uncover, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
