Planting Seeds with Soul

• S2 EP2: Loss, Lessons & Letting Go

  In this one, Kels and I open up about losing our family dog … 15 years of unconditional love, and man, that kind of grief hits different. We talk about what it’s like saying goodbye, especially when the bond runs deep.From there, we get into a real convo about kids, iPads, and tech… what’s healthy, what’s not, and how different every parent’s approach can be. No judgment … just some grounded thoughts and honest reflections.It all wraps up with me having a bit of a moment… I speak on some stuff from my past that I’m not proud of, but had to face in order to grow. It’s raw, it’s real, and a reminder that healing ain’t always pretty …but it’s always worth it.
