252. 10 Lessons Loss Has Taught Me - Living Today Not Waiting For Someday

Listen Later

Hi Mamas,

Today’s episode is a little heavier, but it’s one of the most important conversations we can have. After recently losing a dear friend, I’ve been reflecting deeply on the lessons loss teaches us. These are reminders we all need: to stop waiting, to live with intention, to savor the little things, and to love loudly and unapologetically.

Loss shakes us awake. It reminds us that tomorrow isn’t promised and the “perfect time” doesn’t exist. So instead of waiting for someday, we need to live today.

✨ In this episode, I share 10 powerful lessons loss has taught me:

  • Make your health a priority (yes, book the mammogram!)
  • Save for tomorrow, but don’t miss today
  • Take the trip… big or small, it’s always worth it
  • Forgive quickly and set yourself free
  • Say the words now: “I love you,” “I’m proud of you”
  • Be present in the everyday moments
  • Live with intention… align your calendar with your values
  • Don’t take people for granted… cherish your loved ones
  • Dreams deserve action… start now, even messy
  • Don’t assume you have time… today is the gift
  • This episode is dedicated to my beautiful friend Mare. Her light, love, and resilience are a reminder to live fully, laugh often, and love deeply.
