Mourning Life's Transitions, Episode 263
Wednesday Sep 11, 2024
Wednesday Sep 11, 2024
In this show, the women of LUL shared tales of grief in traditional and non-traditional forms and they made space for all of it! What the episode sadly missed we will tell you about here to round out a very heartfelt podcast...
Coach Vero shared how soon she's returning to the workforce and how being home with her kids for 6 years has been a true blessing. Now that blessing is something she is beginning to deeply grieve as she prepares to return to work leaving behind her most important role yet as a stay-at-home mom! Fighting through many tears, Vero shared so candidly about how much she will miss this time in her children's lives. She's ready for the next chapter in her career, but the whole transition also includes sadness as this part of her motherhood journey ends!
This story led to Coach Irene sharing in the episode how she's managing non-traditional grief as she approaches the realities of soon becoming an empty-nester and Coach Cecy so beautifully shared how she continues to mourn the loss of her beautiful mother!
Be warned you won't hear much from Coach Vero throughout his one as she cried her way through, but you WILL feel all her love and her co-hosts' love to as they continue to show up for each other on the show, and in real life, as they navigate milestones, loss, and the sadness that comes with life changing!

Sometimes we see the Instagram posts and think those people are having a blast on their vacation! We see the couples, the families, the milestones and the FOMO really kicks in. But, have you ever thought about all the stories you don't hear? Not every vacation is what it seems on social media. Today we talk about 3 unique trips that were unexpected and what we learned from it all. For some of us, we'd go so far as to call them vacations from hell because at least one boyfriend got dumped right after their trip with our co-host!
There are great pieces of advice throughout this show. so don't miss it!
