Motherhood and Loss

In this powerful and intimate episode, co-hosts Yvette Love Dávila and Dionne C. Monsanto open their hearts to explore the tender intersection of motherhood and grief. Through laughter, breathwork, and raw storytelling, they hold space for the beauty, guilt, and resilience that come with being mothers after loss.

Yvette shares the story of saying goodbye to her son, Dasan, and the difficult conversation of helping her daughter navigate life after his passing. Dionne recalls the moment she had to tell her son that his sister, Siwe, was gone—and the thousand quiet heartbreaks that follow. Together, they reflect on how grief reshapes family, how community becomes a lifeline, and how “grief guardians” show up when we need them most.

With honesty and compassion, this conversation honors all who mother—biological or chosen—and invites listeners to breathe, feel, and remember that healing is a shared act of love.
