This episode is raw, real, and straight from my heart—because I recently lost my grandma. And if you’ve ever lost someone you love deeply, you know… grief doesn’t follow a script. It doesn’t arrive quietly. And it changes you.
But alongside the heartbreak, I’ve also found something unexpected:
Gratitude.
Not the kind you jot down in a journal just to say you did…
The kind that becomes your anchor.
The kind that whispers, “What you had was beautiful. And it still is.”
In this episode, I’m opening up about:
- What grief has taught me about presence, purpose, and time
- How love doesn’t disappear—it just shows up differently
- Why gratitude doesn’t erase pain, but it does hold it
- The small, sacred moments I’ll never take for granted again
- And how you can begin to lean into gratitude even in your own seasons of loss
- 5 practices to help you anchor into gratitude while grieving
- Personal stories about my grandma’s legacy and how her presence shaped me

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
