We’re back with another IRL #TakeAways. The in-between audio-only podcast where Angie and special guests reflect on episode responses, takeaways, and highlights. 

On this week’s #TakeAways Angie and Executive producer Brittany go in-depth about the lessons learned from the interview Loren Ridinger and chat with holistic wellness and grief expert Yvette Davila. A few years ago Angie's longtime friend Yvette, mother of 2,  lost her only son due to a sudden cardiac arrest. A few years later she has found a new purpose through her holistic wellness sanctuary 'Eve of Wellness' in New Jersey. Listen to the conversation as she describes the journey of mourning her son and shares the best tools to live with grief. Yvette emphasizes the importance of showing up for friends in grief, even uninvited, and the idea that grief is measured by the depth of love rather than the type of loss.
