about this episode
Borrowing joy until you can hold your own again.
Maybe grief made your hands too heavy to carry happiness for a while.
Maybe watching everyone else heal, grow, fall in love, laugh, and live felt easier than figuring out how to do it yourself.
But somewhere along the way…
their joy reminded me mine still existed too.
And babes?
I spent so long wondering if I even deserved a seat at the table…
until I realized:
I am the table. ✨
