67.852 - 88.982 Emilie Kiser

I got a phone call from my husband that our son Trick had fallen in the pool and that he wasn't breathing. Our whole world fell apart. There is no way to describe to someone what it's like losing a child. We did not think we would make it through that.

It was just so sweet, but I wanted to start off by just asking you, how are you today?

I'm nervous. I'm honored to be here. Yeah, I feel okay.

0

157.078 - 159.486 Jay Shetty

What does your normal day-to-day look like right now?

0

159.938 - 178.639 Emilie Kiser

I'm a mom, so my priority day to day is taking care of my younger son, Teddy. So my day to day is pretty normal. I wake up, I work out, I try to work out every day just because I know those like good endorphins will help me mentally throughout the day. And I notice a really big difference if I don't do that.

Chapter 8: What is the significance of keeping a loved one's memory alive?

178.619 - 192.188 Emilie Kiser

And then I kind of just spend the rest of my day with my son and just wherever it leads me. I've learned throughout a lot of my group journey that I just can't have too many expectations for myself. So I just have to set small intentions and go where the day leads me.

0

192.969 - 199.463 Jay Shetty

Yeah. And what was your intention for coming here today? Like what was going through your mind to want to come and share now and today?

0

199.747 - 223.42 Emilie Kiser

I have a large platform and going through what we've been through this past year, just honestly, nothing has felt like an appropriate place to talk about fully in depth what happened, what our family's been through, just how much we miss Trigg, how much we love him. It just it honestly hasn't felt right.

0

223.46 - 241.549 Emilie Kiser

And I feel like when you asked me to come, I I really felt like, OK, yeah, this is like a person that I can sit down with and have a really in-depth, meaningful conversation that will hopefully help people spread awareness, help me to maybe heal in a way.

0

241.647 - 263.098 Jay Shetty

Yeah, I really hope that this conversation is healing for all of us and kind and healing for you as well. Yeah. We'll talk about the loss in a moment, but talk to me about what life was like before the loss. Talk to me about creating or sharing your life online in 2021. What did it look like? What was the motivation behind that? What was the inspiration behind all of that?

263.264 - 279.349 Emilie Kiser

The whole motivation always behind starting social media was honestly that I just needed an outlet. I think that's why a lot of people start. I think that we crave human interaction, human connection. And I had lived in Utah at the time for already about, I think maybe three or four years.

279.47 - 299.331 Emilie Kiser

But when you become a mom, your whole world shifts, your life changes, like nothing can even prepare you for that journey. And I was just really deeply craving something to... fulfill me in a deeper way. Obviously, motherhood fulfills me so much, but I felt like I needed like my own thing. And I think that's so healthy and important.

300.052 - 319.066 Emilie Kiser

And I was like, I think I should just start sharing my day to day. Like maybe people will relate to that. So I was sharing my Morning vlogs, day in the life vlogs, cleaning vlogs. And honestly, it deeply motivated me. I was home alone most days with Trig. And so it really just helped me to like get out of the house, get stuff done.

319.127 - 322.531 Emilie Kiser

Like that was my motivation was just connecting with other moms and people.
