I have a confession... and an invitation for the New Year

A message for the new year…I'm about to reveal a "secret" that's been a quiet cornerstone of my journey – a confession that feels like turning a page in our shared narrative. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the soul tribe that has grown with me since the podcast's inception on March 30th, 2023. The journey, which began as a personal exploration of my own grief, has evolved into something profound, a space of connection and authenticity that has touched lives in ways I could never have anticipated.Now, as I stand at the intersection of past, present and future, I'm peeling back a layer of my identity to share a truth with you.  This revelation is a stepping stone into a deeper exploration of the heart-centered work that has become the core of my existence, and to our connection. I also offer an invitation of hope for the New Year and a beautiful poem by the incredible poet, Donna Ashworth, as we close out 2023.Timestamps:0:15 Introduction & Personal Journey in 20232:04 Evolution of the Grief and Light Podcast2:47 Confession: Revealing the real name7:20 Key takeaways from the Grief & Light Podcast Guests in 202310:47 Clarity and Alignment in 202312:09 Invitation of Hope for 202415:36 What's next for Grief & Light?16:29 Closing and Poem by Donna AshworthNina Rodriguez Social & Website:Instagram: @griefandlightThreads: @griefandlightWebsite: griefandlight.comWays to Work with Me1:1 Heart-to-Heart 12-week Grief Support Subscribe to my newsletterDisclaimer: https://www.griefandlight.com/safetyanddisclaimers#griefandlight #griefandlightpodcastWant to sponsor an episode?
