In this episode, I sat down with Shamila (‪@MistOfNiagara‬ ) and we went somewhere I wasn't sure we'd come back from easily.
We talked about grief. Not the motivational, "it made me stronger" version of it. The real kind... the layers, the hits, the mornings you wake up and suddenly understand something painful that your body wasn't ready to let you see before.
Shamila has this way of seeing the inside of human experience in extraordinary detail. She talked about how grief doesn't arrive all at once. It opens layer by layer, at the pace your body decides you can handle. How blame, if you're patient with it, can slowly become curiosity. How suffering doesn't create a new version of you. It just illuminates the room that was always there, dark and full of things you never knew you had.
