The Road To Healing Is Not Linear: 4 Months Post-Storm

In this week’s episode, Katharine sits down for her first solo podcast to share where she’s at four months post Hurricane Helene. She talks about the logistical updates of navigating the process of figuring out next steps, all while managing big emotions felt by herself and her family. She delves deeper into the art of surrender and also the tightrope walk of surrender v. doing what needs to be done.

Katharine also explores the big feelings and big questions coming from her 7 year old and ponders the question, “what makes a home a home?”

She continues by addressing what has come up for her to consider and question that she wasn’t paying attention to all that much before the storm - and the positives that come from having so many aspects of your life shaken like a snow globe, like:

• What do we really want for our lives? Do we want to stay here, move? What about jobs, schools, being closer to family?

• What decisions would we make if we knew we didn’t have all of the time in the world with the people and things that we love?

• How can we find peace and happiness in the present and not just constantly be dealing with the pain of past events and the hopes and dreams of our future? 

• How do we not just numb ourselves and mentally check out — but really feel through everything? And when is checking out the right thing to do?

• In quietness alone, the answers come
