About this episode

🎙️ Welcome to this deeply emotional episode of "I Wish You Knew" with Adam Lane Smith, the attachment specialist, and Andrey Korikov, CEO and co-founder of Veritas Creative Media. This week, we’re joined by the incredibly talented artist and poet, Havva Ramadan, for a raw and heartfelt conversation about the profound grief that comes from unspoken words, the pain of losing a loved one, and the regret of not saying "I love you" when it mattered most. 

 

In this episode, we confront the pain of unspoken love, the weight of regret, and the silent burden of grief.  Havva, Adam, and Andrey explore the silent burden of grief, the importance of healing emotional wounds, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections with those we love. This is a conversation that will touch your heart and stay with you long after it ends.

 

✨ Key Points That Will Leave a Lasting Impression ✨:

👉 How grief turns inward and the emotional toll it takes on those left behind.

👉 The silent burden of regret and what happens when forgiveness comes too late.

👉 The struggle of moving forward after losing a loved one without closure.

👉 Why expressing love and forgiveness in the moment is crucial for emotional healing.

👉 The impact of unresolved grief on relationships and personal growth.

👉 How to find peace and healing through vulnerability and open communication.

👉 The role of creative expression in processing deep emotional pain.

👉 Practical strategies for embracing emotional intimacy and building stronger connections in the face of loss.



This is a heartfelt conversation that dives deep into emotions many of us struggle to face. It’s not an easy discussion, but it’s a necessary one. These are tough topics, but they’re essential to understanding how to heal, forgive, and move forward. Tune in for a powerful and transformative experience that will resonate long after the episode ends. 🎧
