In this episode, Mike and Angie open up about the heartbreaking and sudden loss of their beloved cat, Nova. With raw honesty, they share how this grief became a living, breathing application of the Drill Method™, offering listeners a deeply vulnerable example of emotional mastery in action. Through tears, stories, and soul-level truths, this episode explores how to process real loss, honor love, and release the pain that’s been waiting inside us all along.

Key Takeaways

  1. Grief Is Not the Enemy — It's a Portal
    Allowing yourself to feel loss is how you release what’s been buried and move toward peace.
  2. The Body Remembers Everything
    Unprocessed emotions store in your nervous system until life gives you a chance to release them.
  3. Emotional Mastery Isn’t Avoidance — It’s Intimacy
    You don’t escape pain by ignoring it. You dissolve it by leaning all the way in.
  4. The Drill Method™ Was Made for Moments Like This
    Dropping in, feeling fully, and letting go is how grief becomes light again.
  5. Love Leaves a Legacy
    Grief is just love without a place to go… until we learn to transmute it back into presence and purpose.

Notable Quotes

  • “Nova’s death didn’t create the grief we’re feeling. It just revealed it.”
  • “You’re not creating it by getting into it… you’re exhuming it.”
  • “Grief is like love that’s missing a piece.”
  • “The emotion you’re feeling is the energy that’s been stored… waiting to be released.”
  • “Fighting reality never wins — reality always wins. And resistance only causes suffering.”
