In this deeply moving episode, the co-hosts sit down with trauma-informed yoga instructor and grief guide Keri Kenney for an honest, tender conversation about grief, healing, and the animals who walk beside us through our darkest moments. Keri shares her profound personal story of loss and how her dogs, Lola and Carlos, quite literally helped her survive the unimaginable by teaching her how to stay present, nourish herself, and keep her heart open even in devastation. Together, the hosts explore how animals help us remain connected to tenderness rather than bypassing pain, and how grief, when met with presence, compassion, and support, can become a pathway back to love, connection, and embodied healing.
