S1E5 | What it Was Like Losing My Father in My 20s

In this episode, I tell the story of what it was like losing my dad in my 20s. It’s a raw reflection on my grief—how I navigated it then and how I’m still learning to live with it now. There are moments where I get a bit emotional, but it’s all part of sharing my truth.

As we are in the festive period, a time often around togetherness and family, I want to acknowledge those who might find this season difficult. If you’re surrounded by loved ones, I hope you embrace and cherish them. If you’re feeling alone, I pray you find a glimmer or two of joy and although I don't know you, you’ll be in my heart. I hope this episode helps you feel seen.

With love,
Mela x
