The holidays have a way of magnifying absence — especially a holiday centered on gratitude, family, and tradition. In this special 25-minute mini-episode, Rachel and Kendel talk honestly about what Thanksgiving feels like when someone you love is no longer here. Whether this is your first holiday without them or the year where it quietly hits harder than expected, this episode is a gentle companion.

Together, we explore how grief shows up at the table, how to navigate complicated emotions, and how to create space for both gratitude and grief.
