So much joy amidst the hard
To live in the present moment and to do something fun everyday, do not live in the fear. 
Not letting cancer define her son or their family.
Guilt and acceptance
Forgiveness & God
Gratitude
Comparative Suffering
To not worry as much

Cecilia calls herself a recovering perfectionist and overachiever. She found herself checking off all the so called boxes in life and in doing so she fell into the perfectionist trap. Through university, the dream job, Mr. Right, the house with the white picket fence, the travels – you name it, she checked it off. Then, life threw her a curveball and at 36, she found herself widowed. This was not apart of her perfect plan. 



That's when she learned that perfection is just a load of... well, you know. The promise was that if she did everything right, she would get the prize of a happy life. Turns out, life doesn't play by those rules. Grief taught her the hard way that perfection leads to disconnection – disconnection from herself and others. But here's the juicy part: connection, that messy, beautifully human experience, is the road to fulfillment. She claims that once we're authentically connected to ourselves, we can forge real, genuine connections with others.



In this episode we cover:

Courage is not linear

Choosing to live and to love oneself after grief

The gifts that come with grief

How grief teaches you to have very clear boundaries

How love and grief intertwines

How to make space for grief

How to support someone that is grieving

In this episode we talk about the multiple seasons of courage that Heidi Low has endured. All seasons of courage have built upon one another and Heidi makes big choices that are only in alignment with who she is. Heidi founded ’Ohana Oasis, a non-profit organization that provides weeklong retreats for parents who have experienced the death of a child in 2013. After experiencing the loss of her own child, Alison, to a brain tumor at the age of five. Heidi shares how this tragic loss did not define her but something that refined her. She told herself from early on that this is not happening to me but this is happening for me. We deep dive into multiple seasons of courage throughout her life and how they have impacted her and putting her best foot forward.

Have you ever found yourself still waiting??? This is an update solo episode of the current season that I am in and the dance between surrender and control. Since this is the 10th episode of the Kindred Journey Podcast I decided to do a recap of the previous episodes and how they tie into the waiting/process and the courage it takes to explore these aspects of these experiences. 

 

I dive into previous episodes and how they all have underlying connections to waiting and the process. 



Embracing Courage Through The Messy Middle



Overcoming the Fear of Failure



Finding Courage Knowing I am Loved



Cultivating Pillars of Courage
