Author and advocate Kelly Cervantes returns with a luminous new memoir, The Luckiest. In this intimate conversation, we talk about evolving identities—the “nesting dolls” we carry within us—real self-care for caregivers, partnership and resentment, and building a “garden” of support that keeps loved ones’ legacies alive. Kelly shares candidly about her daughter Adelaide, epilepsy advocacy, breast cancer, and what it means to keep becoming—again and again—through love and loss.If you’ve ever had to pivot because life demanded it, this one’s for you.Content note: grief/child loss, cancer (handled with care).Find Kelly: website + socials kellygc411 on IG and FBPre-order: The Luckiest.—Hosted by Dr. Dympna Weil | Prescribing Possibility™ — conversations that grow healing, harmony, and hope.—Thanks for listening.
