    EP35. Grief is weird and brutal; and can be suffocating. In this episode, I open up about the moment I became a widow and the hard moments that followed. I stuffed my dead husband’s ashes in a closet. True story.

    I share some deeply personal experiences to encourage you to stop stuffing whatever it is you don’t want to face and recognize you are not alone. I’m being totally honest because I know now that it is critical to confront our feelings so you don’t spend years ‘faking fine.’

    Cancer may have killed my husband, but faking fine almost killed me. My cortisol levels were out of control and I couldn’t figure out how to prioritize myself in the overwhelm of loss. What I’ve learned can help you survive challenges better than I did. What I share in this podcast will help you fight for YOU.

    Take my hand; I’ll walk you through it.
