In this week’s episode of the Cultivate Calmness Podcast, Kaela reflects on the emotional complexity of Mother’s Day through the lens of grief, loss, and personal experience. Having lost her mother at a young age, she shares what it has been like to grow up, become a parent, and navigate life without that foundational relationship. From missing milestones and unanswered questions to recognizing alternative mother figures and redefining what “mom” means, Kaela explores how grief can show up in both subtle and profound ways. This episode offers validation for anyone who finds Mother’s Day difficult—whether due to loss, complicated relationships, or unmet needs—and reminds listeners that all emotions surrounding this day are valid and worthy of space.
