Losing a parent in your 20s changes everything.

In this episode, I share my personal experience of grieving my dad while navigating college, relationships, and adulthood. From the first phone call to becoming a caregiver, to losing him just months before graduation—this is a story of heartbreak, resilience, and healing.

We explore the emotional impact of grief, how to cope while balancing responsibilities, and what it means to grow through loss.

If you’re grieving or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you.

You are not alone 🤍

Love,

Deana

In this collab with Mila, we are on a journey to spread knowledge, research, opinions, and ideas in our own and others lives. We want this to be a safe space for everyone.

In this podcast we dive into the topic of women’s health. I will share information from a medical point of view on proper hygiene and we will discuss how to handle these conversations in real life.

As a young professional, a nursing student, and a women my goal is to help find the root cause of problems we may have in society and in our own lives. We discuss a little of our own upbringing and how our experience impacted the choices we make today. What kind of example we want to give to the future generations and our own future kids.

As stated in the podcast we are not medical professionals please talk to your doctor if you have more medical depth question.

Hey Hey 158 Family!

We are trying something new! I wanted to make a informational podcast called:

🎙️ “Disconnected – Why Waiting on a Smartphone Matters”

is a compelling public service podcast that explores the rising trend of giving smartphones to children at younger ages—and the emotional, psychological, and developmental costs that come with it. Through expert insights, personal reflections, and eye-opening statistics, this episode encourages parents to delay smartphone use and embrace more meaningful, offline connections during childhood. Learn how waiting can protect mental health, foster imagination, and strengthen real-world relationships. I really hope this podcast helps parents
