This week, Busy and Caissie are together for the second week in a row, sharing how they rang in the New Year and what they wore. Then, Rabbi Sharon Brous returns to the podcast to talk about her new book, “The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts,” and how we can better help each other to grieve. LISTEN HERE!

What a beautiful episode. I wept during most of the conversation with Rabbi Sharon (can’t wait to get her book) & again at the end with Busy & Caissie reflecting on 2023. I wish that the podcast community had a better way to say Amen & support Busy & Caissie while they mourned.
Our culture doesn’t talk about death & living with grief enough. I hate that it might not have been the right thing for Busy & Caissie to continue podcasting while they were grieving, but it is a gift to your listeners to normalize not being okay & living with/through grief.
Rituals like pouring one out or breaking a glass at a celebration are such a great reminder that it’s okay to experience BOTH joy and sadness together.
I loved this ep, including the interview - but my very favorite part was the skiing analogy at the end. So touching 💚
