Grief is a universal experience, yet it feels deeply personal and isolating at times. In this episode, Lindsey opens her heart to share her own story of loss, including the profound impact of losing her brother earlier this year. She reflects on how grief shapes our lives, especially during the holidays when emotions are heightened and memories feel even more poignant.

Lindsey discusses the importance of allowing yourself to experience the full spectrum of emotions—both the pain of loss and the joy of life. She explores how staying spiritually connected to loved ones who have passed can bring comfort, and how leaning into community and practicing self-compassion can help pave the way toward healing. This episode offers a safe space for listeners to honor their grief and find hope in the journey forward.
