Description

In this tender and truth-filled episode, I sit down with my sweet sister Mariam to talk about the kind of grief that changes you forever.We explore the heartbreak of losing a loved one and also, the more invisible grief that comes with identity death.

What happens when life as we knew it crumbles? When the person we thought we were no longer fits?

Together, we speak about this liminal space as a kind of dark night of the soul which can be a sacred unraveling that invites deeper devotion.

We also dive into:

  • Mariam’s journey through personal loss and spiritual transformation
  • My pilgrimages to India and initiations through the goddess Kali
  • What it means to step outside of societal expectations around marriage, success, and womanhood
  • The power of living in devotion to something greater, especially in times of grief and uncertainty

This conversation is an invitation to honor your losses, trust your becoming, and remember the divine thread that runs through it all.
