vanessa and dené sat down to check-in about how she’s doing after the loss of her home in the recent LA fires. they talk about:

• the delayed process of grief and how it often shows up as various forms of resistance or frustration 
• how hyper-independence can be a way that we rob people of the opportunity to support us in a way that feels good for them
• giving ourselves permission to live as though nothing is promised and how loss becomes the most potent reminder of the things that matter most
