Ep.119 | We Both Almost Died. What Near Death Experiences Taught Us About Curiosity with Shay & Mariah

 

Curiosity may have killed the cats, but it SAVED both of our lives 🤣

Within the last year, Shay & I both had a near death experience. Which is WILD because wtf do you mean we LITERALLY both almost died around the same time????? (We always joke that we’re walking parallel paths bc the lessons we learn are always so closely related, it’s freaky.)

We’ve been sitting on these stories for most of the season, waiting until we were ready (and processed enough lol) to actually talk about them. And what came out of it wasn’t what either of us expected. Less “life is short, quit your job” and more “oh shit, I really need to trust my gut, ask for help, and stop acting like I’m a superhero.”

Quick heads up: we get into some intense medical stuff, including pregnancy loss, so listen at your own discretion.

We hope you enjoy the episode 🥳

Included in this episode:

➡️ The tiny breadcrumbs that ended up saving Mariah’s life

➡️ Why you have to advocate for yourself, even when you’re not the expert

➡️ What a grilled cheese taught Mariah about trusting her body

➡️ The hospital bill that blew our minds (and what it taught Shay about fear)

➡️ Holding the “both/and” of really hard experiences

➡️ Why it’s so hard for the helpers to accept help (and actually rest)

➡️ What would you do if you weren’t scared?
