I've struggled the last few months and many times have felt lost. Not knowing where I'm going or what I'm doing. And I know that so many of you must be feeling the same way. So, in this episode, I am talking about what it is that we can learn from this situation and how we can do what is called Suffering Consciously.

On this Q&A episode of the podcast, I am responding to a question about how offended we are when we hear the R word. We have to process through all the feelings that come with that because it's inevitable. It's all around us. So, I hope you will get a lot out of this and I would love to hear your thoughts on this as well!

This episode about anger and grieving what your old ideas or thoughts were for your child. It is a previously recorded episode and it's one of the first one I've ever done. I wanted to play it because the discussion of the stages of grief still rings true for any mom or any parent who is processing through a diagnosis for their child.

Currently, I am going through a season of depression in my life. This is not a comfortable topic for me to talk about, but I realize how important and crucial this discussion is right now. I also know that one of the BEST ways to overcome it is to talk about it. So, that's what I am doing in this episode. This is just coming from my own experience and my own journey with depression, what I’ve found helpful, and advice I have for you if you are in a season of depression yourself. I hope that this can resonate with you and help you in some way.
