Sometimes our lives lead us down a path we never intended to end up on. This is exactly what happened to Carol as she helped an aging mother, tried to balance raising her family and had to deal with the loss of the love of her life.

As you can imagine, this changed her profoundly, and this week on the podcast, Carol shares with us how this led her to become a coach for women trying to rediscover who they are.

Carol and I chat about how loss and grief have no real timeline. We talk about how we live in a world where we are told we "should" be over our feelings, but the truth is, you process things like grief in small pieces at a time because otherwise, it would be too overwhelming to process. 

Carol gives us all some advice on how to be kind to ourselves in our journeys, and we chat about what it means to be grateful and allow for moments when we can be overwhelmed by our feelings.

Be sure to check her out after you listen to this week's episode.

This holiday weekend can be hard for some, it's a great reminder that doing what you need fo your mental health is super important.

We all deserve to have the space, time and processes we need in order to care for ourselves the way we care for others too

Grateful to all of you today and sending you all love and light
