EP. 18 - Losing her father and relationships, with guest Angelica Hobby

I'm excited to finally air this beautiful conversation with my friend Angelica Hobby. We recorded this over the summer, right before I took a pause with the podcast to give myself space to navigate the summer of firsts of my sister's death. Angelica has been so patient with me and I know it's time to share her story of losing her father. We also talk about navigating grief in losing relationships with those that are still living.

This podcast is an intimate space where I invite you to join me on a journey of surrendering and healing through life's experiences. Life, as we know it, is an ever-evolving series of transitions. It's a journey filled with moments of joy, grief, loss, and profound transformation. How do we navigate these transitions? How do we find strength and meaning in the face of life's unexpected challenges? In each episode, I'll open up about my deeply personal experiences – from navigating life's transitions to coping and healing in loss and grief. Navigating the unexpected death of my sister in 2022, has led me to deep inner healing and transformation. Her death transformed me to live and taught me the value of embracing every moment, leading me to surrender to the intricate tapestry of the Universe. I extend this invitation to you, encouraging your curiosity and a shared sense of wonder. But remember, this podcast isn't solely about my story; it's about your journey too. It's a space for inspiration, unfiltered conversations, and an opportunity to explore the extraordinary beauty that comes with living life through the lens of surrender. I'll be sharing solo episodes, drawing from my own journey, and offering practical tips and tools that have helped me along the way. And I'm thrilled to bring on guests who will share their own stories and wisdom, shedding light on their unique paths of surrender and transformation. So, join me on this incredible adventure, as we explore the art of surrendering to life's journey. Together, we'll learn, grow, and discover the beauty that lies within each transition.
