Hey friends, it's Dora here. Let's be real. Bedtime can feel like a constant battle.

The tantrums, the stalling, the screen fatigue, it's a lot. That's why we created Wiggle to Wind Down,

a brand new kid's sleep podcast from Headspace and Cocoa Mellon.

Each episode helps your little one move, breathe, and settle into a soothing bedtime story so they can relax and you can finally exhale.

Search for Wiggle to Wind Down wherever you get your podcast and make bedtime a little easier

for everyone.

Hi, it's Dora, and this is Radiohead Space. I'm so glad you're here.

So when my stepmom passed away, it shook our family to the core. She had been a part of our lives for years, steady, loving, and present. And then suddenly she wasn't.

In the days and weeks that followed, there was a lot of silence, some tears.

And eventually, my dad said something I'll never forget.

It's time to move on.

Not harshly and not without care, but with a kind of finality like, this is the moment, let's close the

door and keep walking. And even though I understood where he was coming from, something inside

me hesitated because I wasn't ready, not to move on, not to erase, and not to skip the part

where grief was still alive in my body.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline.

It doesn't respect checkboxes or expiration dates.

But culturally and often generationally, we're taught that it should. We hear things like, don't dwell on it, be strong.

They would want you to be happy.

And it's time to move on. But the truth is, we don't move on from grief. We move with it.

And mindfulness helps us understand that. It teaches us that grief is not a problem to solve,

but an experience to carry.
