Memorials, Memory, and Letting Go: Nita Sweeney on Her Father, Healing, and the Stories We Carry

from HUMAN ENOUGH · host Emmanuel Human enough

In this episode of Human Enough, I sit down with award-winning author and mindfulness coach Nita Sweeney to explore her deeply personal memoir Memorial: The Year My Dad and I Stopped Keeping Score.This is a conversation about fathers and daughters, memory and meaning, and what happens when we stop trying to win emotional battles we’ve been carrying for years. We talk about family, forgiveness, grief, and the quiet emotional work of letting go of old scorecards we didn’t even realize we were keeping.Alongside this, we also touch on her journey through depression, running, meditation, and writing as practices of survival and healing—but at the heart of this episode is a deeply human question: what does it mean to finally make peace with the past?
