Let's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe Promise I Made to MyselfThe world of social media is all I've known since I was 15. It has always had its pros and cons but over the past few years I really noticed how badly it was consuming me. I worked hard after losing Francesco to find validation and serenity in myself. Even with all that growth, I still found myself going back into my bad and unhealthy habits. To help others, you have to be able to help yourself. That's why I've decided to keep the promise that I made to myself.

He talks about some of his coping mechanisms, his experience being a caretaker, ways that he likes to honor his mother, and some of his favorite last memories with her. Everyone experiences grief differently, but the one thing that I know we all share in common is that the grief hurts, and it is okay to NOT be okay.

I believe that there is so much more to life and death, so much, that our brains would never be able to process the full truth if we had it. In this episode I discuss the three major “signs” that I received from my boyfriend who passed away. These signs changed my perspective on afterlife, and I hope it does the same for you too.

We then talk about Francesco, how he impacted her life, and how he will always be the son in law she always wanted. 2023-05-3155 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganWith Grief, We Don't Move on. We Move ForwardWith my grief, I HATED when people would tell me to "just move on". For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me. I kept trying to "move on" to make everyone else around me happy, but it just wouldn't work. What I learned with time, is that there wasn't something wrong with me, there was something wrong with the advice that was being given to me. There is no such thing as moving on from a loved one, and I am so sorry if someone made you feel otherwise. When someone makes such an impact...2023-05-2421 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin Reagan6 Things I Wish We Did Differently In Our RelationshipI had so much time to reflect after Francesco passed away. Taking time off social media allowed me to understand my life in a way I never did before. With my own personal experience with grief, I did a lot of reflecting, and learned so much about who I am. I started to understand the things that I do that I love, and the things I've done that I don't ever want to do again.

Maybe you even felt limited by the norms that society has built for us. I had an extremely hard time fitting back in with society, and even just feeling "normal" after losing my soulmate. It took a shift in my mentality, and unlocking the power that I carry, setting my authority in my own life. We may feel like our brain controls us, but once you realize you control the brain, your life changes. 2023-05-1032 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin Reagan[VIDEO] A Father's Love with Joe LoPrestiIn this interview I sit down with Francesco's father Joe LoPresti.

The reason we don't trust ourselves, is simply because we don't entirely know who we are. We'd rather run to others to help us, instead of learning how to help ourselves. We are programmed to do this, and it makes us weak. Be your bestfriend because at the end of the day, no one knows you like you. Stop missing out on getting to know who you are, the person you're missing out on is someone extremely intelligent.2023-04-2618 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganLet's Talk Letting Go [VIDEO]Letting go of past anger is not an easy task. Sometimes we are afraid of the way other people will react. Other times we may really struggle to not let our pride get in the way. Ultimately, holding on to that pain hurts us the most and letting go is the most liberating thing you can do. Send that text, go see people that you don't often see, be that person who makes the effort. You will see that in the end you are left feeling totally free. 2023-04-1918 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin Reagan[VIDEO] Healing is a Journey with Mirko MormileI sit down with Francesco's best friend Mirko and talk about their early friendship and what it meant to him.

Lastly, we touch on his last big break up and how that was a catalyst in us forming a close friendship. Healing from a huge tragedy can be difficult, but it is so much easier when you have close friends by your side.2023-04-1246 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganLet's Talk Funerals and WakesIn this episode, I talk about my experience navigating my boyfriend's funeral and wake after his death. These are very taboo topics that not many people like touching on. This portion of life is not spoken about enough and it sucks because it's a WAY more common experience than we realize. We need to come together and allow space for these thoughts. My goal is to break this stigma. Death is a part of our lives, and we need to face this unfortunate truth, instead of running from it. 2023-04-0524 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin Reagan[VIDEO] The Trauma Does NOT Define you, The Trauma Builds you...

I came across these specific clips of him speaking, and couldn’t stop replaying it. It’s like he was channeling all the words that I couldn’t put into sentences of how I've been feeling over the last 10 months. I thought it was a kind of foreshadowing, and frankly beautiful. The next season of my podcast is called “Finding Inner Peace” but before I start season 2, and take you guys on my inner peace journey, this last video here is for Francesco. It’s what I would say to...2023-02-2703 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe BeginningThis is the story of how Francesco and I met, and our history over the last 10 years plus. Timing is key. Sometimes we are with the right person, but it's the wrong time. Let this story be a reminder that if it's meant to be, it WILL be. 2023-02-2037 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe Year Before: (My Internal Struggles)Sharing Francesco and I's journey with the world was a BIG decision we had to make as a family. At the time, it was scary to show our vulnerability while we navigated through our lowest points. Although it ended up being the best decision we could've made, it came with a big price to pay as well. 2023-02-1333 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe Year Before: (Us)In less than a year, our entire lives flipped upside down, and all we really had to keep each other sane was each other. 2023-02-0643 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe Month BeforeThe moment the doctors told us that there was nothing more they could do for Francesco, was the moment I slowly started to fight demons in my head. The internal struggles of being in denial - trying to convince myself that he was not going to die. I lived in a world tortured by both extreme thoughts eating away at me, and didn't know which one was going to be the outcome. Francesco and I both struggled in different ways, yet continued to show up for one another however we could. In the end we never gave up on...2023-01-3029 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganThe Week BeforeThe week before Francesco passed away, Francesco and I had to accept that he's not going to be here much longer. We had the realest, most intense conversations with each other. I talk about what it is like to talk to the person you love from a perspective of knowing you may never see each other again. We had so much time to reminisce, and to be really be present in the moment. If only humanity could learn how to be so real with one another, other than in times of distress. Why does it take death for us...2023-01-2417 minLet's Talk with Kaitlin ReaganMarch 21, 2022The day that I lost my boyfriend to cancer, was the day that I truly felt my life was over; a pain that is indescribable. For a while I ran from this day, trying to pretend that it didn't happen just to get by. It hurt too bad to resurface. Once I found the strength, and realized I no longer wanted to hide from my truth, I felt empowered. Sharing your experience with trauma is powerful, and I want more people to understand that it's okay to do so. 2023-01-2319 min
