Grief doesn’t stay in your heart, it lives in your calendar, your routines, and even the rooms you walk through every day. We’re back on Coffee With a Twist with a raw life update on why we went quiet for a few weeks and what it’s like returning after saying goodbye to Layla, our 19-year-old dog. We talk honestly about how a pet can be family, how death can bring up older losses, and why those memories can feel both comforting and heavy at the same time. 

We also share the practical side of healing: redoing the basement space that used to be hers, changing the environment so it doesn’t look exactly like the version we’re stuck replaying in our heads. If you’ve ever tried to “push through” grief while still parenting, working, and keeping the house running, you’ll recognize this balancing act. We’re also looking ahead to a small out-of-town break, because sometimes rest is not a luxury, it’s maintenance. 

On the rebuild side, we get into what’s helping us regain momentum right now: a weekend AI course that’s stretching our brain in a good way, plus a more consistent gym routine with Zumba and step aerobics. We keep the nutrition talk realistic too, focusing on eating earlier, adding more vegetables, and learning to stop at satisfied instead of overly full. We wrap with what’s coming next, including a 60 to 90 day Tesla update, and ways you can connect with us directly.
