Grief after sudden loss hits differently — especially when you’re far from home.
In this deeply personal episode, we explore grief, loss of a friend, emotional overwhelm, missed expectations, and how healing isn’t a straight line. If you’re grieving someone you loved, struggling to make sense of loss, or trying to move forward while your heart is heavy, this episode will meet you where you are.
This is grief with honesty, dark humor, and compassion — because sometimes laughter is the only thing keeping you upright.
In this episode, Vanessa shares the full story of her Mexico City trip — the good, the bad, and the not-so-funny-but-somehow-still-funny parts life likes to throw in when you least expect it.
What starts as a trip rooted in faith, intention, and joy quickly turns into missed plans, chaos, emotional spirals, and an unexpected loss that puts everything into perspective. Vanessa opens up about grief, missing home, motherhood, heartbreak, and what it feels like when life humbles you in real time.
This episode is dedicated to her friend Rob — a beautiful soul, a jokester, and the kind of person who showed up for others and quite literally left this world laughing.
It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s emotional.
And it’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, plans fall apart, and being alive is still the biggest blessing of all.
Listen if you’ve ever laughed through pain, cried through gratitude, or tried to find meaning without forcing it.
