The human experience is a truly beautiful thing with an abundance of things to have gratitude for, but it's not without its seasons of chaos and strife. We want you to know with today's episode that you don't have to go through it alone and that you never truly are alone. 

As we get into this podcast, we really want you to feel like you know who we are. 

We unpack some of the biggest seasons of chaos for us as individuals; for me, the heartbreak that was losing my mother and dealing with the aftermath, and for Tess, the struggles that came with growing up in a Catholic environment and then needing to come to terms with her sexuality.

We'll touch on how sometimes in the darkest seasons, you just need to focus on the next step ahead of you. You truly need forgiveness towards those things which have wronged you in order to experience a healing of your spirit, because our creativity, the quality of our relationships, and our mental health all depend on everything being right in your heart.
