In this intimate episode of Mama Mable’s Caregivers Podcast, Talisa shares a deeply personal dream about her late mother, Mable, one that revealed a powerful truth about grief, love, and the transition caregivers face after loss. Recorded in honor of her mother’s 69th birthday, this episode reflects on what it means to carry love forward when the person who once anchored you is no longer physically present. Through the lens of a dream set in the church of her childhood, Talisa explores: • Grieving not just the person—but the role they played • How caregivers navigate life with limited clarity • When grief shifts from loss into leadership • Learning to walk forward while love stands watch This episode is for caregivers who are tired, grieving, unsure, and still showing up. You are not abandoned. You are not failing. The love that shaped you did not end—it evolved. A gentle, reflective episode for anyone learning how to walk forward while carrying what came before.
