In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Alisha reflects on her journey of healing and rediscovery after the loss of her husband five years ago. She shares her experiences of navigating grief, embracing joy, and the importance of self-care. Through small intentional choices, she has learned to reconnect with herself and create a fulfilling life. Dr. Alisha emphasizes that life after loss is like writing a new book, where individuals have the power to decide their own narrative and embrace their evolving selves.

REFILLS:

1. Survival mode is okay. In the beginning, just getting through the day is enough.

2. Feel all the emotions. Grief is heavy, let yourself feel it.

3. Invest in yourself. Whether it is a spa day, a staycation, or therapy, please find ways to pour into yourself.

4. Embrace the new you. You're allowed to grow and evolve.

5. Write your own story. Your life after loss is yours to create.
