From chronic health struggles and layered grief to the fine line between intuition and anxiety, this conversation is a deep dive into healing, honesty, and showing up as your full self.
Elise opens up about how her own challenges led her to support others through therapy and coaching. Mary shares her experience navigating family dynamics, motherhood, and what it means to keep growing even when life feels heavy. Together, they explore how emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and authenticity aren’t just helpful—they’re healing.
