Life is hard. Even when it’s good. Watching your kids suffer is tough. Wednesday was Willy’s heavenly bday. It’s been extremely difficult for his parents and especially Bryan. Please keep him in your prayers. He is really struggling right now.

Each soul-led podcast offers tools and stories to help you navigating loss through creativity, community, and sacred practice. Hosted by intuitive artist and grief recovery expert Dawn Renee Bova, this podcast explores how creativity, nature, and rituals can gently transform your darkest moments into light. Together, we explore love, life, and loss—with courage, color, and compassion.
