After taking a few weeks away, I am back with the most personal episode I have ever shared.

In this special tribute, I read the eulogy I wrote and shared at my mom's Celebration of Life. This time with a little more peac and perspective. You will hear the story of a woman whose love shaped my life, whose faith inspired me daily and whose stregth carried me through my hardest seasons.

I also open up about how losing her connected to my own adoption story and how caring for her during her illness reminded me that family isn't about DNA, it's about love, devotion, and the people who show up for you everyday.

Whether you've walked through loss, caregiving, or rediscovering your roots, my hope is that this episode brings you comfort and reminds you of the beauty of a mother's love-the kind that never really leaves us.
