What do we grieve when a parent is still alive, but was never there for us in the way we needed?
In The Empty Space of Grief, Karen Shayne sits down with counselor and Unconditionally Her contributing writer Pam Monjar to explore the losses we don’t always know to call grief. They talk about absent parents, relationships and futures we imagined but never had, and the ways those empty spaces can follow us into adulthood.
Pam also shares why she created a retreat for people grieving the absence of a parent. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered whether a loss “counts”—and what might happen when we finally give it a name.

Beyond The Destination w/ Allison Long
Sometimes the journeys that change our lives don't begin with a passport—they begin with the courage to start over.
In this inaugural episode of Legacy Makers, a special series from Unconditionally Her Conversations, host Karen Shayne, along with Kiya Naka, sits down with luxury travel advisor and entrepreneur Allison Long for a conversation that goes far beyond destinations and dream vacations.
They explore what it means to reinvent yourself, trust your instincts, create healthy boundaries, and discover that true luxury isn't found in five-star hotels—it's found in having the time and freedom to be fully present.
From the leap of leaving a successful career to building a business with purpose, Allison shares the moments that shaped her life, the lessons she's learned about courage and stillness, and why the most meaningful journeys often begin within ourselves.
This isn't simply a conversation about travel.
It's a conversation about building a life you don't need a vacation from.
Whether you're dreaming of your next adventure, navigating a season of reinvention, or simply longing to slow down, Allison's story is a beautiful reminder that legacy is created one courageous decision at a time.
Legacy isn't built in a single moment.
It's built one intentional choice at a time.
