EP. 3 Midnight Shoes and Heartfelt Memories: Happy Birthday, Dad!

from Healing Out Loud: Boundaries & Becoming · host Kayla

Send us Fan MailThis episode is one of the hardest—and most meaningful—I’ve ever recorded. In honor of my dad’s birthday month, I’m sharing a memory of him that has stayed with me through every season of my life. It’s a quiet moment, but one that deeply shaped the way I understand love—how it’s spoken, how it’s felt, and how it continues even when someone is no longer here. Recording this brought up emotions I didn’t try to hide. Grief, tenderness, and gratitude all sit side by side in this conversation. This episode is raw and personal, but it’s also about the love that lingers and the lessons our loved ones leave behind. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on the words, moments, and people that taught you what love sounds like—and how those echoes still live in you.Listener Note: This episode gently touches on themes of grief and loss and may feel tender at times. Please listen in the way that feels safest for you.And to my dad—happy birthday. I still say I love you, and I can still hear you saying I love you more, my princess. I carry that with me, always.Support the show
