Welcome back, dear friends,
In this episode, I decided to step up to the microphone and open up about what's been happening in the Fonzi household over the past few weeks and months. We've experienced the loss of our beloved family members, Bruno and Lea, in a very short period. I want to use this episode to discuss my mental health journey, breaking the stigma around seeking help.
I'll share my experience of participating in a wonderful podcast called "Never Just a Dog," where I talk about the profound impact Bruno and Lea had on my life. I'll delve into the effects of talk therapy, meditation, music, and various modalities that have been helping me on my journey through grief and healing. As part of my path to recovery, I've also had a conversation with Selma from Balkan Mama Therapy.
Furthermore, I address the stigma surrounding grief and parenthood, reflecting on how I grew up and how I'm working to change things within my family and for my son. I'll delve deeper into the messages I received through oracle cards, hoping they bring clarity to the challenging situations we all go through.
I'll emphasize how the content we consume and the way we talk to ourselves can shape our reality. I'll also discuss how resources like books can help us shed and unlearn our trauma, providing education for ourselves and our children.
This episode holds significant value, and my hope is that it provides you with support and insight to help you deal with what you're currently going through. Remember, community is medicine, and I look forward to bringing more guests and inspiring stories.

Dobrodošli natrag, dragi prijatelji,
U ovoj epizodi otvaram srce o gubitku naših dragih članova obitelji, Bruna i Lee, te svojoj borbi za mentalno zdravlje. Razgovaram o utjecaju koji su imali na moj život, terapiji razgovorom, meditaciji, glazbi i podršci Balkan Mama Therapy. Dotičem se stigme oko tuge i roditeljstva, te o važnosti sadržaja koji oblikuje našu stvarnost i obrazovanja koje oslobađa od trauma. Ova epizoda pruža podršku i zajednicu u teškim vremenima. Niste sami.
