Ep. 31 - Grief, Growth & Getting Real in Your 20s

Welcome back to Candy for Breakfast ~ where we talk about the sweet, the sour, and everything in between that makes life real. This week, I’m joined by sisters Rachel & Adriana Gioeni. In 2019, they lost their mom ~ and that loss flipped life upside down. They were thrown into adulthood carrying grief, identity shifts, and the pressure to figure out who they were becoming. But here’s the thing: this conversation isn’t just about loss. It’s about what grief teaches you ~ how to keep moving, how to laugh again, how to stop sweating the small stuff, and how to see life for what it is right now instead of waiting for tragedy to shake you awake. ✨ In this episode, we dig into: 💔 The messy, raw days of grief. 🎂 Shadow events ~ birthdays, milestones, the gut-check reminders. 👭 What it feels like to grow into womanhood while carrying loss. 🌱 The tools and mindsets that actually helped them heal. 💡 Their best advice for our generation on living fully, now. 🎙️ This is a raw, real, and necessary conversation for anyone in their 20s trying to figure life out. And you might just be pleasantly surprised by how these 20-somethings can teach any generation through the wisdom they’ve gained by choosing to heal through pain. 👉 Hit play. This one’s gonna stay with you. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
