Grief ain't just for the dead. Sometimes, it's for the ones still walking around, leaving you with a heart full of what-ifs. In this episode, we’re getting real about the gut-wrenching reality of grieving a living mom. Maybe she’s toxic, absent, or just never showed up the way you needed. That pain? It's valid, and it's time we talk about it.

I’ll be sharing my own experience of grieving my womb carrier and the complicated feelings that come with it. Plus, we’ll dive into the heartbreak of my former pastor's role in my story, because grief doesn’t just come from family — sometimes it’s the people we trusted most.

We’re diving into the heartbreak of longing for a mother who couldn't be what you deserved, navigating the resentment, and finding your own version of healing. No sugarcoating here — just raw, unfiltered truth about what it means to mourn the relationship you never had. Whether you're setting boundaries, cutting ties, or just trying to make sense of it all, this one's for you.

Expect some tears, probably some laughs, and a whole lot of real talk. Because healing doesn't mean pretending it didn't hurt — it means owning that pain and finding a way to move forward.

Grab your liquor, grab your bud — we're in for a wild ride.
