Getting through it: feel or function?

By the time you hear this, I’ll have said goodbye to my dog Laurie.

This episode is me choosing not to “function” my way through the re-homing process - but to feel it, and to share that with you. I reflect on what it means to end things relationally, not just practically. On how grief shows up in the body. On humility, holding, and being held. On how hard it is to let go - even when it’s the right thing.

There are funny stories too (Laurie gave me plenty). And there’s some real talk about perfectionism, the pressure to get everything “right,” and what that even means in the messy business of relationships.

It’s raw, yes - but real. If you wrestle with endings, have ever faced a tricky goodbye or struggled to stay soft when life gets sharp, I hope this one speaks to you.
