Celebrating Dolly Parton: Love, Loss & the Wisdom She Left Behind

This week I'm pausing to honor, grieve, and celebrate one of the most beautiful souls to ever walk this earth — Dolly Parton.

I share what I tuned into energetically around Dolly in the time after her husband Carl Dean passed — and what I genuinely felt happening in her heart. We talk about what it means to die of a broken heart, the very real spiritual and physical truth of it, and the incredible love story between Dolly and Carl that spanned more than fifty years.

From there, we move into pure celebration — because my God, did that woman live. I'm walking through some of my favorite Dolly quotes that stopped me in my tracks, made me laugh out loud, and honestly brought me to tears. Because hidden inside her humor and her sparkle was some of the deepest wisdom I've ever come across.

This one is equal parts grief and joy — just like Dolly herself.
