14. Give it A Year

Some years don't ask for your permission. They just come for you. This episode is Nesha's most personal yet. After the sudden death of her younger sister and a breast cancer diagnosis just weeks later, she found herself in a year she never would've chosen. Grief stacked on top of shock. Radiation appointments scheduled around tears. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a literal FedEx truck. But this isn't about tragedy. This is about truth. Nesha shares the eight lessons that carried her through the hardest season of her life, from learning that grief and joy can live side by side, to realizing that rest isn't weakness. She talks candidly about anger, community, survival, and what it really means to let people show up for you. If you're in the middle of your own hard year, or love someone who is, this episode is a quiet reminder that healing takes time. You don't have to rush it. You don't have to make it meaningful yet. You just have to breathe… and give it a year.
