What happens when you’re navigating not one parent with cancer, but two, grief hits like a freight train and yet the show must go on?

On this week’s ReFind Resilience Podcast, @karihawkerdiaz - beloved host of @KUTV Fresh Living shares the raw, beautiful, and brutally honest truth about losing her mom during COVID.

Kari opens up about:
💔Navigating the reality of living in a world where reality is altered by loss
💔 Holding it together on set—when nothing felt together behind the scenes
💔What grief felt like for her and the importance of having support

With her signature self-awareness and humor, Kari reflects on the surreal emotional juggling act of being the “fresh” face of a daytime TV show… while barely surviving the fog of grief internally.

This episode is a tender reminder that resilience doesn’t always look like strength—sometimes it looks like mascara in the car, shaky smiles on camera, and learning to mother yourself when you feel you might be lost
