Shownotes

In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined by Acceptance Coach and podcast host Chris Mamone to explore how grief, while brutal, can also be a catalyst for deep personal transformation.

We talk about what grief really is (hint: it’s not just something to “get over”), why it hits so differently for everyone, and how leaders can better support themselves and others through loss. Chris shares his own raw story of heartbreak, including the stillbirth of his son, and how that moment cracked him wide open—revealing a path toward healing, self-compassion, and legacy.

Whether you’re grieving quietly or loudly, leading others through loss, or simply unsure how to support someone in pain, this episode offers both tender validation and practical guidance. This is a must listen to episode!
