Shifted On Purpose

Episode 2: The Conversation We Almost HadI had the chance to ask my mom how she wanted to be buried. We were watching TV. It was just the two of us. Nothing heavy about the moment.I let it go.In this episode, Bola opens up about the conversation she almost had with her mother, and the cost of letting it slip past. But this episode isn't only about the conversations we don't have. It's about what happens to everyone around a loss, not just the person grieving.You'll meet four types of people in this episode. One of them is you.What you'll take away from this episode:The four types of people who exist in every loss, and which one you might be without realizing it. Why "let me know if you need anything" is the lazy way out, and what to do instead. The decision Bola and her four siblings made together that held their family up when nothing else could. What showing up actually looks like when you don't have the words. Why it's never too late to reach out, even if weeks, months, or years have passed.Whether you've recently lost someone, you're supporting someone who has, or you're simply preparing for a conversation you've been putting off, this episode gives you language for what you're carrying, and permission to put some of it down.Get The Future Readiness Check — FreeThe Future Readiness Check is a free guide created for the Shifted on Purpose community.
