Hi everyone! Gosh, it's been a hot minute! I've needed a bit of a break from all things in general and am happy to be coming out of my hibernation finally.

I discuss what it was like to lose my grandpa and be the on...

In this episode, I chat about the first two furbabies I had to say goodbye to- one of them being my "furry little sister" Crystal who supported me emotionally after Nicole's death and how that impacted me as a 14 year old. Also talked about are the tools I used to navigate the aftermath of Crystal's death and how I honoured her in a visual way that I still enjoy 18 years later.

In this episode, I expand on the first two losses I experienced; my great-grandpa at age 5 and the death of my childhood twin soul, Nicole at age 12. With childhood journal in hand, I share some poetry written in the aftermath of Nicole's death and share what navigating that time was like and what helped me navigate it the most.
