There’s a moment in this episode where Erin says something that stopped me in my tracks: “I felt like I was supposed to show up.”
Show up to meetings.
Show up for your kids.
Show up like you have it together.
Even when everything inside you feels like it’s unraveling.
In this conversation, Erin Popp and I talk about what happens when your professional knowledge doesn’t protect you from grief. When self care becomes a joke because survival is the real job. When uncertainty isn’t temporary, it’s chronic.
We explore what complex grief looks like for special needs moms, why control and intellect eventually stop working, and how peace often comes from letting go rather than trying harder.
This isn’t a conversation about fixing yourself.
It’s about finding your way back to yourself.
