Healing Conversations with My Father:

We want to thank all of you for your presence and support throughout Season One of Heart Gardening, and we’re excited to share this wrap-up with you.

In this episode, my Dad, Robert, and I close out Season One of Heart Gardening by reflecting on the journey we've taken, one intentional conversation at a time. While we have our usual opening and intro with a funny story from my Dad’s childhood, we spend most of our time answering listener questions.

Questions touch on topics ranging from humor and vulnerability to what we’ve learned about conflict resolution, and ultimately, how we’re consciously choosing to continue rebuilding our father-daughter relationship – yes, you guessed it, one intentional conversation at a time.

If you’ve been listening along, you have probably come to see and understand that this has been less of a season about “How to Heal,” and more about showing how healing happens through heart centered, intentional conversations. Maybe we’ll go more into the “How to Heal” or “How We are Healing” in the future.

We hope that what is shared in this wrap-up episode is supportive for you and the loved one(s) you want to continue co-creating in healing with.

From our heart gardens to yours, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Have you ever felt called to return to a place that has long held memories of grief, trauma, or loss, without fully knowing what would come from the visit?

In this bonus episode, I share what it was like to return to the hotel where my brother, Rory, died 16 years ago. At the beginning of my share, I talk about the many times I thought about going back, and how, upon learning about a wellness and spirituality event happening there this past weekend, I knew it was time.

It wasn’t an easy visit – nothing went quite as planned, but it turned into something more healing than I could have ever anticipated.

This episode invites you to reflect upon if there is a place that you are being called to return to – whether a location or memory – so that you can become more present with the power of your heart.

Healing Conversations with My Father:

What if divorce can lead to healing through supporting a deeper connection with oneself?

In this episode, my Dad, Robert, and I have an intentional conversation about breakups, separation, and divorce – and, specifically, what he learned through his divorce journey which began in the Fall of 2019.

We also, and perhaps most importantly, discuss what it means to take responsibility for your part, forgive yourself, and – how the end of a relationship doesn't have to be seen as a failure. Sometimes it's the beginning of something much more aligned.

Key Takeaways:

• Divorce is real grief and needs to be met with presence, compassion, and intentional inquiry.
• Sitting with sadness and grief is how we heal.
• Taking the time to understand our part i.e. owning why we chose that person, supports us in healing, and in making different choices in the future.
• Every relationship has its own curriculum, and the teacher-student dynamic is present in each relationship.
