My mission with Losses Become Gains and the Life With Grief Podcast is to make sure you know your loss doesn't define you, and to remind you that you can find "gains" from your losses to learn, grow, and evolve in the most beautiful way—whether you're grieving or not, really!

It took time, self reflection, research, and a whole lot of self-development and getting to know myself again. This version of myself without the two people I still needed most. There came a moment when I said to myself, There has to be more than this. There has to be more to learn and grow from with everything I've lost. And, I think I can help people through their adversity, too...

It's knowing your grief and your loss will always be with you, and we honor that to our core. As beautiful as life after loss can be, we also embrace the ebbs and flows, and we acknowledge the difficult days and painful emotions that come along with it.

It's all about balance.

There's an undeniable energy that comes with hearing someone's voice when they're speaking passionately about a topic—or, chatting with a guest! We'll be doing that here, too.
