The P-I-G: Episode 27
From Roots to Ripples: Rearview Reflections, Hands on the Wheel
(A PJs & Pokey Episode)
One year ago, we hit record without fully understanding what this podcast would ask of us — emotionally, creatively, and personally. What we did know was that we wanted to honor our mom, tell meaningful stories, and create something real.
What unfolded was so much more.
In this “PJs & Pokey” sister chat, we slow the pace and reflect on Year One of The P-I-G — the conversations that shaped us, the work we didn’t know we were signing up for, the personal losses we carried quietly, and the relationships that grew stronger because we chose to stay present and honest with each other.
This episode is about:
Looking back with clarity instead of judgment
Acknowledging the growth that came through discomfort
Recognizing how self-awareness changed the way we listen, communicate, and show up
Honoring the people who became family when we didn’t expect it
And choosing to move forward with intention — hands on the wheel
It also marks the release of Roots & Ripples, a new reflective resource inspired by the very work we’ve done through this podcast — created to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters as you move into what’s next.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence.
And choosing growth — even when the road is winding..

💗 From Our Hearts to Yours…
The P-I-G is a heartfelt, purpose-driven podcast exploring life, love, loss, and legacy through real conversations and meaningful stories. Together, we unpack the moments that shape us—the stories we carry, the messiness of being human, and what it means to leave something meaningful behind.
Each episode invites us to honor what matters most, remember that grief isn’t linear, navigate life’s hardest moments with PURPOSE, INTENTION, and GRATITUDE, and to be reminded that legacy isn’t just what we leave… it’s how we live—right now.
“Hearing the stories of others helps us create a more meaningful connection to our own—because legacy isn’t just what we leave behind, it’s how we live right now.”
