💛 Episode 13: A new year always invites a little reflection—and a lot of hope. In this special episode, Erin and Jaymes sit down together to talk all things New Year: the routines that ground them, the vision boards that spark excitement, and the words of the year guiding their intentions.

They also look back on 2025—what worked, what surprised them, and what lessons they’re carrying forward. Whether you’re a goal-setter, a dreamer, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and ready to turn the page with a whole lotta purpose.

In this deeply personal episode, Erin opens up about losing her sister Shanin in 2017 and how grief has shaped her life in ways she never expected. Together, Erin and Jaymes explore what no one tells you about how your brain responds to loss, why grief isn’t linear, and the well-meaning things people say that can unintentionally cause more pain.This conversation isn’t about “fixing” grief—it’s about understanding it, sitting with it, and learning how to show up for ourselves and others with more compassion. Whether you’re navigating loss yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers honesty, empathy, and a reminder that you’re not alone.Join Erin and Jaymes Lackey for our hyper-positive regional podcast highlighting local individuals in Northern California who have a Heart of Gold.Link to Mel Robbin's episode: https://youtu.be/uSZy6Ww3e6A?si=RJYOPzmAI-ZTZApN
