Kari opens up about a recent personal loss - the passing of her father - and explores the complex emotions of grief, particularly guilt. She discusses the challenges of navigating grief while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy and shares a comforting vision she had as a child about the afterlife.

Key Takeaways:
- Grief is complex: It comes with a range of emotions, including guilt, and there's no right or wrong way to experience it.

- Give yourself grace: Allow yourself the space and time you need to process your grief without judgment.
- Feel your feelings: Don't suppress your emotions. Acknowledge them, experience them, and let them flow.
- Find comfort in your beliefs: Whether it's spirituality, faith, or personal philosophy, draw strength from what brings you solace.
