Radiant Blossom Season 1 - Ep 03 Grief

01/20/25 • 76 min

Grief is a damn heavy topic let alone sitting or being with it!
It's all the unspent love that gathers at the corners of your eyes and behind your throat.
It's the knot in your stomach when you see an old photo of you best friend that ... well, once made you happy.
It's the wailing in the middle of the night once you remember the last conversation you had or the last time you may have been too busy to pick up.
It's all the hours you spend wishing you'd had more time.
It's the quiet way your heart breaks when you remember that they won't be physically present for all your milestones.
It's in all the words left unsaid.
It's in the emptiness. The silence. The pain.
No! I don't wanna have this conversation!
Yes! We're gonna have this conversation!
So, bring your broken heart, a shovel, a blanket and a box of tissues. We're gonna go deep, be with it and sit with it!
But we'll do it together!
Always together.
From the deepest parts of me,
the healed and unhealed parts of my heart,
I see you & I love you!
Bring all of you!

She shared with us how she packed of her family for 4 into 6 suitcases and now living in Tokyo Japan.

I introduce to you Veronica Hanson

Veronica talked the expectations she came to realize she was living under. To distinguish for ourselves the need to be accepted by other people rather than being able to accept ourselves for who we are.

She shared with us how to become a minimalist, to identify the 3 reasons why we hold onto materialistic things.

Veronica also talked about identifying the 3 level of dreams within ourselves, and how to go after the 3rd level, which is the dream we really want for ourselves.

About Veronica

I did all the things that were supposed to make me happy. I got married, I had 2 children, I balanced my home and career, I had an actual white picket fence. Everyone told me I would be happy when I got to that spot in my life. But I wasn't happy. I created a life based on social approval and family expectations. I didn't want a house in the suburbs, one vacation per year, or designer clothing. One day I decided to become a minimalist. A little while later I decided to become a nomadic family. People had all sorts of negative stuff to say which they disguised as concern for my well being. My family for 4 fits into 6 suitcases and we've lived or long term stayed in 4 countries over the past 2 years. Currently we live in Tokyo Japan.

Radiant Blossom Season 1 - Ep 10 Celebrating the Detours & F*ck-ups in 2024

I fucked up a lot this year.
I mean ... I said yes when I should have & needed to say no.
I hesitated saying “HECK YES” to what felt in alignment.
I waited too long when opportunities came up.
I put off doing the big things & the small, almost inconsequential ones.
Some days I ended up with a longer to do list than I started the day with.
Point is, I failed A LOT.
I fucked up one too many times.
And yes, I took multiple detours in 2024.
But you see, in the detours, failures & fuckery / fuckedupness, I grew, I stretched & ended up exactly where I was meant to be.
I became who I am & I drew invaluable life lessons that I will take with me to the next phase of my life.
How about you? Did you win a lot? Did you kiss rock bottom at least once in 2024?
Join my beautiful soul sister @claudiachan.co & I, for our 10th & final Radiant Blossom in 2024, on the 28th Dec 9:00am, Beijing Time (8pm Eastern 27th), where we will all celebrate the detours, fuck-ups & wins in a safe space.
Come as you are & Bring all of who you are.
DM for the Zoom link.
From the deepest parts of who I am,
I see you & I love you.
