How do we rebuild ourselves after a profound loss? When tragedy shatters our world, what emerges from the fragments? In this episode, I had an extraordinary conversation with Valarie Budayr, whose journey through grief offers powerful wisdom for anyone navigating life’s darkest passages. Sound and breath work have played important roles in her healing journey, and through “Mongata,” she’s been able to serve others by sharing the wisdom she has gained from her journey. What healing might be possible if you gave yourself permission to change your story?
