Turning your Grief into Rocket Fuel with Carla Fernandez
🎙️ ON TODAY's EPISODE - Grief as Rocket Fuel with Carla Fernandez
What shifts when you really understand that time is temporary?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with @renegade.carla—grief worker, storyteller, and author of Renegade Grief and Try Not to Cry at Work—to talk about what it means to live with that knowing.
We get honest about grief, presence, and the sacredness of everyday moments—like the mundane phone calls with your mom that one day, you won’t be able to make. Carla reminds us that loss strips away our tolerance for the inauthentic, and invites us into a more intentional, no-BS way of living.
