It softens. It shows up in new ways.</p><p>And eventually, you realize—moving forward doesn’t mean leaving them behind.<br>You just learn how to carry them differently.</p><p>This episode is about their mom—<br>who she was, what it felt like to lose her,<br>and what it looks like to live with that loss, years later.</p><p><strong>Press play, get cozy… and come sit with us.</strong></p><p><strong>Resources: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-cozy-night-for-readers-and-people-who-wish-they-read-more-tickets-1987707547783" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Come To Our Event at Brewpoint!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1478322818756347175?unique_share_id=0903335e-0668-44da-9f6c-bc1f8460b118&viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76&mc_cid=72c3bbf924&mc_eid=dec3938600&source_impression_id=p3_1777481997_P3hMJwVPRFA3goT5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Abil Acres</a></p><p><a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/cozyconversations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Send Us A Voice Message!</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thesisterproj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Follow Us!</a></p><p><a href="https://cozyconversationswiththesisterproject.com/collections/candle-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Shop Our NEW Candles!</a></p><p><a href="https://cozyconversationswiththesisterproject.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Check Out Our Website!</a></p><p>This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.chicagopwg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Chicago Private Wealth Group</a> and <a href="http://letitbeus.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Let It be Us</a>. </p><p><br></p>
