Really proud of the newest episode of It's a Lot! Had a very honest, heartfelt conversation with Mai Nguyen, author of Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead, about grief, empty platitudes, moving forward through something devastating, and finding ways to hope again π©· Social media definitely pushes us to speak in extremes, to think in black and white, but there is so much space in the messy middle. We can feel two conflicting emotions at the same time! Grief and joy can coexist!
Listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts. I recommend checking the content warnings first (find them in the show notes). We talk about heavy topics in detail, but there is levity and fun too!
