Sometimes life hits us so hard that our minds struggle to assimilate and understand what we are going through at that moment. Sometimes going through these periods, while unimaginably painful, can be an incredible catalyst for growth and understanding.

I've decided to do a solo episode for today's podcast to talk about one of the worst moments in my life, my little sister's death.

In this episode, I share my deepest fears and the mix of emotions and reactions I experienced from the moment I received this terrible news until several days after the reception and how it affected and changed my life. I also talk about how sharing our emotions connects us with people and how feeling gigantic amounts of pain can let us know the amount of love and joy we can experience. 

In this show, I try to ask people about their challenges overcome, so it's only fair that I share more about my journey through the most painful thing that's ever happened to me.
