In honor of Mother’s Day.
For some, that means flowers, phone calls, and celebration. For others, it means grief, silence, longing, or learning how to survive a loss that never fully leaves.
In this special episode, Esperanza — the Spanish word for “hope” — I speak about losing my daughter Melody, grieving my mother, and navigating the unbearable weight this holiday can carry for so many people. This conversation is for those mourning mothers, children, grandmothers, strained relationships, or even the version of themselves they lost along the way.
This is not just an episode about pain. It is about surviving it. Honoring love in unconventional ways. Finding softness in grief. And reminding anyone listening that they are not alone, even on the hardest holidays.
If this day feels heavy for you, this space was created with you in mind.
