Suicide trigger warning in this episode

This episode is deeply personal. Angie opens her heart and shares her journey of trying to understand her brother after losing him to suicide — and how that loss became a doorway into psychology, self-awareness, and the human shadows we all carry.

Through reflection and compassion, Angie explores how two siblings — shaped by the same family, yet carrying very different energies — processed pain, divorce, and life’s challenges in completely different ways. What she discovered along the way wasn’t just about him… it was about all of us.

✨ In this episode:

• The unseen ways trauma and emotional repression show up differently in each person

• How understanding Human Design became a critical part of Angie’s healing

• A look at the “shadow side” of energy — the part of us that hides pain until it can no longer be ignored

• Why grief often opens the door to deeper compassion and purpose

This isn’t a story of loss — it’s a story of learning, grace, and connection that transcends even death.

🎧 Tune in for a raw, honest reflection on healing, understanding, and the light that can emerge when we finally stop running from the dark.
