Welcome back to the Just for Today podcast. After a four-month break from the studio, I’m checking in to share a much-needed life update.

This episode is a raw look at the challenges of the recent holiday season my third without Eric and the unexpected ways grief continues to show up as the kids get older. From Jackson starting sports and reaching the milestones Eric always dreamed of, to Riley beginning to ask the "hard questions" about her dad, we’re navigating new developmental stages of loss every day.

I also dive into the beautiful, messy reality of our blended family. While combining five different lives under one roof has been one of the hardest things I’ve done, seeing the bond grow between the kids especially during Jackson’s first night at our grief group reminds me why the effort is so rewarding.
