In this deeply personal and tender season finale, I sit down with my dear friend Natalie Guyton for a conversation that’s equal parts heartache and healing. We talk about what it means to find the sweetness in grief—especially after the unimaginable loss of our mothers.
Natalie shares her journey of losing her mom and the soulful ways she’s chosen to honor her memory—through celebration, creativity, and joy, rather than being swallowed by sadness. Together, we reflect on the parallel paths of our grief and how we’ve both discovered gentle ways to carry the love forward.
This episode is for anyone navigating loss, searching for light in the shadows, or wondering if sweetness can still be found when your heart is aching. Spoiler alert: it can. And we’re here to remind you how.
