In this heartfelt episode, I dive deep into the complexities of grief and how we can find our way to thriving, even in the face of profound loss. As a therapist, I often hear that grief is something to "get over," but in reality, itâs something we live with. Today, I open up about my personal story, sharing the pain of losing my father at a young age, the impact of my mother's death when I was still trying to figure out adulthood, and the recent loss of my sister, who was not just family, but a keeper of my history.
I reflect on what it means to thrive in the "gray area"âthe space between grief and joy, where both can coexist. Iâll share how grief is not a linear process, how itâs okay to feel angry or like life is unfair, and how to honor those we've lost by continuing to live fully. For anyone who has ever experienced loss, this episode is for you. Letâs talk about how we can carry our grief with us, without letting it hold us back from experiencing joy, love, and connection.
From personal stories to professional insights as a trauma therapist, I explore the nuanced relationship between grief and healing, showing that there is no "right" way to grieveâbut there are ways to thrive alongside it. Whether you're in the early days of loss or years into your journey, I hope my words resonate and bring comfort, hope, and perhaps even a little peace.
Let's start the conversation. Comment your thoughts or share your own story belowâIâd love to hear from you.

In this episode, I dive into the challenges we face as parents when managing our children's behavior, especially during times of transition when tantrums, meltdowns, and emotional outbursts are at their peak. I share my personal journey of learning and why I moved away from B.F. Skinner's behaviorism and punishment-based approaches. Instead, Iâve embraced a teaching-centered method that focuses on fostering growth, mutual respect, and understanding.
Iâll talk about how Iâve learned to approach my kids' behaviors as forms of communication rather than simply something to correct or punish. By using grace, curiosity, and grit, I've created an environment that promotes positive behavior and allows for self-awareness and growthâfor both me and my kids. Weâll cover how positive reinforcement, emotional intelligence, and self-care can make a huge difference in how we show up as parents and help our kids grow into their best selves. If you're navigating tantrums, defiance, or emotional challenges with your child, this episode will give you practical strategies for shifting from punishment to teaching, so you and your children can thrive.

In this insightful episode, I sit down with Sarah Sparks, an international bestselling author, top 10% globally ranked podcast host, and successful business owner, who has transformed her life and career by embracing curiosity and divine guidance. Sarahâs journey, like many of ours, began with a search for external approval, love, and validation. She shares how this pursuit led her to a path that wasnât aligned with her true self, and how she eventually broke free by asking one simple, yet powerful question: âI wonder.â
Throughout the episode, Sarah explains how this mindset shift allowed her to let go of societal expectations and start living a life guided by intuition. Whether it was leaving a marriage that didnât serve her, shifting careers, or starting her own business, Sarahâs story is one of transformation through self-awareness, healing, and divine inspiration. She speaks about the importance of understanding the difference between living for external validation and living for inner fulfillment.
Sarah offers practical advice on how to tune into your intuition, explaining the subtle signals our bodies give us when something is right or wrong. She highlights the need to release emotional baggage, live authentically, and stop repeating patterns that donât serve us. By staying curious and asking the right questions, Sarah believes we can all break free from self-imposed limitations and step into a life of joy, freedom, and success.
We also dive deep into Sarahâs healing processâan acronym called "HEALED"âdesigned to help people shift their mindset, let go of past wounds, and live in alignment with their true selves. Her philosophy is especially helpful for those feeling stuck in their careers, relationships, or even in their own personal development. If youâre ready to live a life of purpose, abundance, and fulfillment, this episode is a must-listen.
