Finding What It Means to Have an Open Heart

About this episode

In this episode, Sarah Rusk reflects on the lessons learned from her dog Charlie's passing and the transformative power of keeping an open heart.

Hey there friend! Today, I share a few synchronicities that came through from my dog Charlie, who transitioned two weeks ago. I also talk about some recent moments where keeping my heart open seemed to change everything around me, like my world began to mirror that openness back. I also share what having an open heart means to me and how I came to embody it.
