This episode was not easy for me to record but felt the need to speak from the heart on this devastating situation. I delve into the traumatic experiences surrounding the recent LA fires. From the unexpected and devastating wind-driven blazes to the overwhelming feelings of survivor's guilt, this episode uncovers the layers of trauma faced by the community. I discuss the challenges of processing the devastation, the impact on people's mental health, and the incredible outpouring of support. This episode is a raw and personal reflection on finding compassion, extending help, and the struggle to maintain hope in the midst of crisis. Join me as I share my journey of navigating this turmoil and offer a message of love, empathy, and resilience.
