This episode is inspired by the book The Hungry Caterpillar (thanks, Eric Carle!)

In this episode, Samantha gets real about her transition into post-pandemic life. She points to the transitional void as we see the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. She illuminates the nonlinearity of healing as a tool that might help us more gently move through this transition - just like the sticky metamorphosis of the butterfly.
