In today’s episode, I get vulnerable and share the intimate details of transitioning a loved one into a care facility, how Bret and I are coping with the changes, the impact it has on family, the helplessness we have felt through the process and the hopefulness we feel today. In addition, while I’m limited in what I can share in regard to my (ongoing) traumatic plastic surgery saga, I’ll open up about the emotional toll the experience has had on me.
It’s okay to not be okay and to prioritize healing mentally and physically. There’s a lot going on in our PodSquad — which has grown to over 18k. It’s where we hang out to talk about all this stuff. If you listen to the show, you’re invited to join our awesome PodSquad on Facebook here! Or just send me a DM on Instagram with #podsquad and I’ll send you the link!
