In this episode I shared how I am grieving the loss of my mother due to COVID-19 recently. While it is a very painful process, I am slowly learning to manage this pain. Hoping it will help someone who is struggling to deal with the loss of a dear one.

With all the polarization in the country it’s important that we talk. And not just one conversation but a series of focused conversations where we commit to come closer, learn from each other and listen to each other actively. Let’s agree to disagree with respect.

The episode challenges us all to take a step back in the middle of our sadness and anger and dig deep within ourselves to focus on common goals we have as fellow human beings!

A reminder for us to not get too entangled with the stressors generated by the coronavirus reality. We must remember this is just a phase in our lives that may have magnified some of the hard parts of our relationships and of ourselves. However, our destination is still in our hands, we can still choose how we want to evolve and who we want to become. So take a deep breath and do some self reflection! Take a break but please don’t quit! God bless
