A Sit Down with Shelley LIVE Experience!

🎙️ A Sit Down with Shelley – Make It Make Sense: FIRST LIVE In-Person Audience Podcast

When the grandparents are gone, everything changes. The holidays don’t feel the same. The family doesn’t come together like it used to. The glue that held everyone in place has disappeared — and the silence, distance, and emotional weight can feel overwhelming.

This live, in-person podcast experience dives deep into how families shift after losing the matriarchs and patriarchs — the anchors, the storytellers, the heart of holiday traditions.

Join A Sit Down with Shelley – Make It Make Sense for a powerful evening of real conversations, healing, and reconnection.
