In this deeply personal and heartfelt episode, Katrina opens up about the emotional journey she’s been on over the past few months—traveling back and forth to be with her family as her mother-in-law faced serious illness, and ultimately, the weight of saying goodbye.

Through raw reflection and honest conversation, she shares what it’s like to navigate grief in real time while still showing up for life, family, and purpose. This episode also explores the importance of having your affairs in order—those conversations we often avoid, but that can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.

Katrina also dives into the reality that grief doesn’t look the same for everyone. We all process loss differently, and learning to hold space for those differences—without judgment—is a powerful part of healing.

This is a vulnerable, grounding episode about love, loss, preparation, and giving yourself (and others) the grace to grieve in your own way.
