Rise When It Hurts: LJ & Barb Sit Down for a Tender Conversation About Grief

#59: This week on the Rise Podcast, LJ and I sit down for a tender, honest conversation about grief—what it teaches us, how it surprises us, and how it reshapes the way we move through the world. We talk about my mom’s passing, the lessons that have surfaced in the months since, and the small, steady ways we can care for our nervous systems when life asks more of us than we feel ready for. It’s a vulnerable episode, but a beautiful one—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and meet ourselves with compassion. Let’s rise together.
