#40 Moving through grief, releasing our guilt, + evolving co-dependency w/Dara Kurtz

I am overjoyed to share this conversation on life, loss, and love with Dara Kurtz, author of I Am My Mother's Daughter. Dara and her book ooze love, compassion, and the wisdom gained through the trials and tribulations of life. Dara shares what it was like to lose her Mom at the age of 28 due to cancer as the was about to give birth to her first born, then receive her own cancer diagnosis at the age of 42 as a mother with two adolescent girls, and survive and reflect on both overwhelming and life-altering experiences. Dara speaks about the journey through one's grief, experiencing guilt as both a mother and a daughter, the experience of suppressing emotion and the freedom found in giving herself permission to feel what seemed easier to bury deep within, and evolving the experience of co-dependent relationships within one's family. This conversation reminds us of the importance of having honest conversations with ourselves and the ones we love, the value of tuning in and trusting ourselves, and the gifts that occur when we allow ourselves to heal. Dara's desire to share her story inspires us to appreciate our own journey and encourages us to appreciate where we came from and what we're creating as we connect to the present moment.
