Summary

Chris encouraged me to post this publicly instead of exclusively on our show's Patreon. He said it's important. Some of my more personal stories feel more contained there than on the iTunes feed. Big breath. He's right. I hope there's something useful to you in the complexity of the story. It's about love, respect, personal choice, spiritual connection, letting go while in fear & unknown, and calling & dealing with some very real shit. Thank you for holding space for me within my vulnerability & truth. In this heartfelt episode, we share Grammy's story, highlighting her strength in facing terminal illness and the codependency within our family. We discuss the pressures and emotional blackmail she endured from family members, her powerful decisions regarding her health, and the lessons she taught about independence, personal choices, and emotional resilience. Gain a deeper understanding of how to navigate your own family dynamics and make healthier, more empowered choices.
