Doing My Damn Best

What exactly is grief? And why do we only associate it with losing someone? Nametag and Rebecca Joi talk about the many forms grief can take, from losing loved ones to losing relationships, dreams, normalcy, and even versions of ourselves. They also get into those unexpected moments when grief sneaks up on you, why we sometimes suppress it, and why eventually you have to sit with it. Real conversation about something we all experience, but don't always know how to talk about.

In the pilot episode of “Doing My Damn Best”, Nametag sits down with his niece Aaliyah for a real family conversation about raising children on the autism spectrum. They talk about diagnosis, parenting, sensory issues, school, finances, caregiving, the emotional toll, and the things nobody really prepares you for. Most importantly, they talk about the patience, consistency, and hope it takes to keep showing up. No experts. No polished answers. Just family doing their damn best.
