Скачать или смотреть Grief...how did we get here?

Grief has a way of sneaking up on us, not always in the loud, overwhelming moments, but in the quiet ones. The still mornings. The unexpected memories. The soft ache of missing someone who shaped us in ways we’re still uncovering.

In this episode, I open the door to a story I’ve carried for years: the story of my Mamala, Dolores — fierce, funny, tender, unfiltered, and unforgettable. She stepped into my life when I was seventeen and loved me with a kind of generosity that left fingerprints on my becoming. Losing her in 2018 changed me, and loving her changed me even more.

This reflection isn’t about sadness alone. It’s about:
• The people who choose us and become our family
• The complicated beauty of missing someone
• The regrets that surface when we realize how fast we were moving
• The wisdom our elders leave behind — sometimes wrapped in humor, sometimes wrapped in truth
• The question she left me with: What does it mean to take better care of myself while I still can?

Her life — and her loss — pushed me toward deeper curiosity about longevity, joy, slowing down, and living a life we won’t look back on with “I wish I had…” in our mouths.

As you listen, I invite you to reflect on your own story:
Who are the people you carry? What did they teach you? And how has grief shaped the way you care for yourself now?
This is the beginning of a larger conversation about care, curiosity, and the lives we’re building while we still have time.
I’m glad you’re here with me...
