A year after our big move to Wellington — just as life was beginning to feel settled — we faced another heartbreak. We lost our beloved dog, Chloe, in a way that felt like life was reminding us: grief doesn’t run on a timeline.
In this episode, I talk about the deeper layers of loss that come with rebuilding your life — not just losing someone you love, but the quiet grief of the life you imagined, the home you left, the dreams that didn’t unfold the way you hoped.
It’s tender, honest, and full of reflection — about how grief and growth can coexist, and how, even through tears, life keeps offering moments of love, joy, and connection.
This is a conversation for anyone walking through change, loss, or new beginnings — a reminder that healing doesn’t mean going back. It means learning to live fully in what is.
