This week’s episode is a little different! Instead of my usual conversation, I’m leaving you with something to hold onto while I’m away.

I’m off exploring Sicily with my husband and daughter, and it got me thinking about how loaded it can feel to want new experiences after loss—especially places or plans you once imagined sharing with the person you lost. So instead of a regular episode, I recorded a quick guided meditation on giving yourself permission to explore again.

This meditation speaks to:
✨ Why wanting new things after loss doesn’t mean you’re leaving your person behind
✨ A grounding practice to help you notice—without judgment—what you’re actually curious about
✨ Why “I’m allowed to want this” might be the hardest and most healing sentence you say all week
✨ A gentle reminder that this might not be where you are yet, and that’s okay too
✨ One small, low-stakes way to start exploring your own curiosity this week

If you’ve been feeling that quiet pull toward more—toward trying something new, going somewhere, wanting things again—this meditation is for you.
