P-I-G Afterthoughts: The Strength to Stand, the Grace to Grow

Every story we share on The P-I-G leaves an imprint—but some linger long after the episode ends.

Gini Thomas’s story in Episode #6: Still Here, Still Standing: Gini’s Journey from Tragedy to Triumph was one of those. Because sometimes, you need time to process. To say the things that come up after the mic is off. To grow… gently.

After all, The P-I-G isn’t just about telling stories. It’s about growing through them.

In our first-ever P-I-G Afterthoughts, we circle back as sisters to reflect on what Gini’s journey stirred in us: grief that hides, strength that softens, and the quiet moments where we begin to heal. This episode isn’t polished—it’s personal. Just two sisters talking through the weight and wisdom of a story that moved us both.

🎙️ In this episode, we reflect on:

  • What we didn’t say during the interview—but couldn’t stop thinking about

  • How Gini’s story helped us revisit our own losses

  • Why the “Eeyore days” are real (and okay!)

  • How gratitude can exist right alongside heartbreak

  • The legacy of presence—and what it means to show up for others and ourselves


💗 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.”
