What if your grief, your anxiety, your falling-apart moments aren't signs that something's wrong with you — but a normal part of moving through the human experience? 💙💜

In this tender episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Ryan — author, social worker, and someone I consider Soul Family. Tiffany and I found each other through the hardest kind of doorway: we both have children on the other side. Her son Noah was 16. My McKel was 14. And out of that shared shattering, a friendship and a calling were born.

Tiffany's new book, Post-Pathology: A New Orientation to Mental Health, reimagines healing through the metaphor of the labyrinth — the idea that we're always moving in and out, touching meaning and alignment, then cycling back into the hard stuff. We talk about why happiness was never meant to be permanent, why surrender (not resistance) is where suffering softens, why disintegration might be the precipice of growth, and the radical idea that loss itself can be a gift.

This one is for anyone in the thick of it. You're not crazy. You're not broken. You're just human, walking the same labyrinth as the rest of us. 💙💜
