This was a beautiful converstion with the lovely Marie Alessi.

Marie is a Mother to two boys, a bestselling Author, TEDx & Keynote Speaker. After her husband passed from a brain aneurysm, she found and created her way back to Joy. She instinctively knew it was the only path worthy for their young boys. Her husband had taught her the concept of two choices - and this one was made in Rob's honour, to make him proud. Marie has become a shining example of choosing Love over fear and sadness.

In this heartfelt conversation, we explore the profound themes of grief, healing, and the journey towards joy after loss. Marie shares her personal experiences with grief, including the unexpected loss of her husband, and how she has transformed her pain into a mission to help others navigate their own grief. This discussion emphasizes the importance of perspective, mindset, and the power of love in the healing process. Marie offers practical tools and insights for those struggling with grief, encouraging us to embrace their emotions and find moments of joy amidst the pain.
