Episode Synopsis

“I think most people spend their lives, like, hoping they never have to lose people. You know what I mean? They're like, ‘Oh, God, I hope that doesn't happen.’ I'm, like, the story of so many things people wish they never would have to go through.” - Biet Simkin

If there’s one thing Biet Simkin knows, it’s loss. Not only did she lose her mother as a child and her father as a young adult, she also tragically lost her infant daughter. But she uses her life experiences as a way to meet others including her clients where they are, to feel their feelings and to show them that getting through the seemingly impossible is possible.
