Episode 1: Learning to Encourage Myself Through Grief

🎙 Welcome to the first episode of The Healing Space Podcast! 🎙

This episode is deeply personal and marks the beginning of a healing journey—not just for me but for everyone who is navigating the weight of grief. Today, on what would have been my son’s birthday, I choose to honor his memory by sharing my story, my struggles, and my path toward healing.

🔹 In This Episode, I Share:

• The devastating loss of my son to gun violence and how it reshaped my world.
• The raw and honest struggles I faced in my grief process.
• How I learned to encourage myself when I felt like I had nothing left to give.
• Why choosing to heal doesn’t mean forgetting, but rather carrying the love forward.
• Words of encouragement for those walking through their own grief journey.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Grief is not linear—there is no “right” way to grieve.
• Finding ways to honor our loved ones can be a powerful step in healing.
• Encouraging yourself is an act of faith, resilience, and self-compassion.
• You are not alone—healing is possible, and you deserve support on this journey.

📌 Join the Conversation: I invite you to share your thoughts, your own experiences with grief, or the ways you encourage yourself in difficult moments. Let’s create a space of healing, support, and hope together.
