In this deeply intimate conversation, Malisa and Angie sit together in the rawness of grief as Malisa shares her lived experience following the loss of her son, Jake. They explore the physical and emotional toll of grief, the sacred role of community support, and the moments surrounding Jake's funeral that continue to shape Malisa's healing. The conversation weaves in spiritual signs, family bonds, and the necessity of self-care during profound loss. Together, they reflect on honoring memories, speaking openly about grief, modeling healthy emotional expression for future generations, and finding meaning and purpose in pain. This episode is a compassionate invitation to witness grief without fixing it—and to let vulnerability become a bridge to deeper connection.

Let grief be seen. Choose one safe place—one person, journal page, or quiet ritual—where you allow your grief to exist without being edited, rushed, or explained. Speak the name. Share the memory. Honor the love that remains. When we model honest grief, we don't burden others—we give permission for healing to be human, communal, and deeply alive.

In this reflective conversation, Angie and Malisa explore how energy moves through friendships, networks, and spiritual spaces. They unpack what it means to assess relationships through energetic exchange rather than obligation, how emotional cycles—including menstrual rhythms—shape our perceptions, and why direct communication can feel risky when harmony has been prioritized over honesty. The conversation also touches on the subtle dynamics of networking and spiritual communities, inviting listeners to notice where emotional support flows freely and where it quietly asks too much. At its core, this episode is about learning to trust what you feel, not just what looks good on the surface.

Take a gentle inventory of your relationships this week—not from judgment, but from curiosity. Notice where connection feels mutual and nourishing, and where it quietly drains you. Ask yourself: Do I feel safe to express my needs here? Do I soften or shrink to maintain harmony? Practice one small moment of honest expression—whether that's naming a boundary, honoring your emotional rhythms, or choosing rest without explanation. Self-care isn't just what you do alone; it's how bravely you show up in relationship with yourself and others.

In this deeply reflective conversation, therapist and host Angie and Malisa explore the intimate relationship between self-care and boundaries. They unpack how self-harm and self-abandonment can quietly show up when we ignore our bodies, overextend ourselves, or struggle to say no—especially in caregiving roles. Through honest reflection on parenting, relationship dynamics, and energetic patterns, they examine how our sense of self-worth shapes the boundaries we set and the energy we attract. This episode is a compassionate reminder that self-love isn't just about what we give—it's about what we protect.

This week, pause before you say yes. Place one hand on your body and ask, "What would honoring myself look like right now?" Practice noticing the difference between discomfort that invites growth and discomfort that signals self-abandonment. Let your "no" become an act of devotion, not defense. Every boundary you set is a message to your nervous system that you are safe, worthy, and allowed to choose yourself—without explanation or apology.
