231: There Will Be Butterflies in Alaska

by | June 26, 2024 | Podcasts

Mantras and positive affirmations have become powerful tools in helping me find balance, harmony, and peace in my life.

In this episode, I share a significant milestone for my family: my daughter Caroline is finishing college after a challenging journey. To celebrate, we’re heading to Alaska for a family trip we’ve long dreamed of and saved for over the years. However, this exciting trip is shadowed by a deep sense of guilt. I grapple with the thought that this wonderful experience is only possible because Elizabeth is no longer with us. Despite these feelings, I hold onto the belief that Elizabeth would want us to enjoy this time together and create new memories. If you’re experiencing similar emotions, remember you’re not alone.

 

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Why it’s important to honor and celebrate significant achievements

  • How recognizing and addressing challenging feelings is essential for emotional healing and personal growth

  • Ways mantras and positive affirmations can help maintain balance, harmony, and peace

  • Reasons connecting with others with similar experiences is invaluable
