This episode begins with a poem (an invocation, really) about love as medicine. The kind that finds us at our most depleted and still asks us to show up, gently.
I talk about pushing through a heavy day with no energy left, the moment a song pulled me through, and how a simple reel cracked something open in me, revealing a quiet ache from my inner child that I didn’t expect.
What followed was a dream so intense it had me sobbing the next morning… a dream that blurred the line between mother and daughter, hope and heartbreak. I unpack it all (with help from ChatGPT!) and reflect on the sacred work of raising a child while reparenting yourself.
I touch on:
This one’s for anyone navigating exhaustion, guilt, healing, and the power of choosing love, even when it’s the hardest thing to do.
