In this deeply moving episode, Carrie interviews Lesa Mueller, a contributing author in both The Lighthouse Series Volume 1 and Volume 2. Lesa shares her journey of advocating for her mother during her final days—honouring the grace and gratitude her mother embodied in both life and death. Lesa reflects on the profound experience of "walking her mom home", a gift she wishes she had fully appreciated earlier but is deeply grateful for now. She speaks candidly about reaching a place of acceptance rather than anger before her mother passed, the delayed grief that often comes with caregiving, and how being “in the trenches” can make it difficult to process emotions in the moment. Together, Carrie and Lesa explore: ✨ The emotional complexities of caregiving and advocacy for a loved one ✨ How grief can be delayed when we are focused on showing love and care ✨ Why we are wired to do hard things—but also need to be kind to ourselves ✨ The mantra "Inhale love, exhale gratitude", which Lesa first discovered while hiking the Inca Trail and later leaned on as a guiding practice through her mother’s passing ✨ How trusting your intuition becomes easier when you approach life from a calm place While we can’t fully prepare for life’s hardest moments, we can practice the tools that help—breathing, pausing, stepping away—to navigate them with more grace and presence. 💛#Podcast #BeautifulChaosUseful ResourcesClick here to find links to follow all our guests.Click here to learn about FoundHer projects & events!
