Honestly, I'm Fine

THE PLAN: Walking to Heaven’s DoorWhat do you say to your nine year old child when you know he’s dying?In this episode of Honestly, I’m Fine, I tell the story people have quietly wondered about but were too afraid to ask. The conversation Kingston and I had before he died. The movie that became our roadmap. The “plan” we made together. And the impossible reality of trying to prepare your child for death while the rest of the world argues about attendance policies, parking spaces, and pretending everything is fine.This episode is raw, funny in places it probably shouldn’t be, devastating in others, and deeply human. We talk about fear, love, parenthood, childhood illness, the lies people tell themselves about positivity, and what happens when a child understands more than the adults around him.We also talk about:• why children know more than people think• the impossible pressure parents face during childhood cancer• the difference between hope and denial• grief, school systems, avoidance, and anger• The Notebook becoming accidental emotional hospice care• the promise Kingston made to me on our couch that nightThis is Part One.Part Two is next week.🎙️ Honestly, I’m FineNew episodes every Tuesday.Listen + follow:YouTube: @HonestlyImFineInstagram: @hautemess_laTikTok: @haute__messWebsites:MaileNavarro.comLiveLikeKingston.org#HonestlyImFine #Grief #ChildLoss #Podcast #Motherhood #Healing #BrainCancerAwareness #PediatricCancer #LifeAfterLoss #MentalHealth

Things I’m Done Faking: Group Chats, Clean Girl Aesthetic, and Leftovers | S2 Ep10This was supposed to be a deep, poetic episode about signs, grief, and Kingston… and instead you got me rage-quitting group chats, slandering the clean girl aesthetic, and confessing my toxic relationship with leftovers and DoorDash.Michael is here as I admit I no longer have the range to pretend I care about 93 unread messages, beige wellness culture, or the seven subscriptions silently draining my bank account for a version of me that wakes up at 5 a.m. on purpose.We talk fake expensive energy, why “10,000 steps” is just confusion with cardio, why my bladder and my haircut have left the chat, and what it means to be a grieving mom who can’t tie it all up in a healing TED Talk but can still tell the truth and accidentally fart in Target.If you’re tired, distracted, emotionally allergic to group chats, and trying to keep your kids and your nervous system alive at the same time, you’re in the right place. No clean girl aesthetic, just the real shit.Stick around after the show and listen to "You Thought" a song written by me and my 10 year old!
