“This is the Thanksgiving story that broke me open… and the gratitude that rebuilt me.”

Episode 6 is a deeply personal conversation about grief, healing, and the complicated emotions the holidays often bring. Thanksgiving was the last day I spoke to my dad, and five years later, this season still carries both weight and beauty.

In this episode, I share the story of my dad’s final days, the way grief reshaped my life, and how unexpected gratitude emerged from the hardest season I’ve ever lived through. We explore the many forms of grief, coping tools for the holidays, how to honor loved ones, and the powerful connection that grew between my sisters and me after our dad passed.

Topics include:

• The paradox of grief and gratitude

• Surviving holidays after loss

• Emotional tools to navigate heavy seasons

• Signs from loved ones who’ve passed

• How to support someone who is grieving

• Reflection questions for deeper healing

• The legacy my dad left behind

This episode is for anyone carrying loss into the holiday season. You’re not alone — and your feelings are valid.
