In this raw and heartfelt episode, Lindsey shares the deeply personal journey of grieving her brother, Joshua. A year into the process, she reflects on how loss has reshaped her—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. With honesty and compassion, Lindsey opens up about the unexpected waves of grief, the pressure to keep moving, and the ways we try to cope—even when those tools begin to hurt more than help.
She explores how grief touches every part of us, from our sense of identity to our ability to show up in the world. This episode is both a love letter to those we've lost and a gentle reminder to the living: allow yourself to feel it all. Healing isn't linear, and there’s no timeline for sorrow. But in choosing to stay present—with the pain, the lessons, and the memories—we begin to honor their legacy and reclaim our own.
