Episode #150: Welcome to another engaging episode of "In Studio with Kimberly Lovey," where I guide you through a tapestry of emotions, insights, and stories that are both relatable and enlightening. We kick off with a fresh segment featuring my podcast recommendations for the week. If you’re in the mood for laughter, don't miss "Absolutely Not with Heather McMahon." Heather’s charming blend of humor and Southern flair makes her storytelling irresistible, perfect for anyone seeking a good chuckle. I also spotlight "Unpacking with Jennifer Sattel," a podcast I produce that offers practical home organization tips from a mom’s perspective. Jennifer’s genuine approach makes home organizing feel both attainable and inspiring.

Listen in as I navigate the poignant journey of coping with the loss of a parent. I share the raw and unfiltered experience of losing my mom and how daily triggers can sometimes feel overwhelming. Through candid storytelling, I reveal how spirituality has become a source of solace, bringing a sense of closeness despite the void. The narrative takes you through moments of vulnerability, as I recount a particularly tough morning, and the strength found through friendship and resilience. This segment is a heartfelt exploration of grief, the daily reminders that accompany it, and the continuous effort to maintain normalcy amidst the emotional upheaval.

We wrap up with an honest look at building a creative business and the adventures of parenting. I share the reality behind the scenes of establishing a vibrant podcast studio, detailing the challenges and triumphs of transforming a rundown space into a dynamic creative hub. It's a story of perseverance, dedication, and the passion that fuels the entrepreneurial spirit. On a lighter note, I open up about parenting a nine-year-old with a girlfriend, discussing the mix of emotions and the strategies for guiding young relationships with wisdom and care.
