Show Summary:
Many of us automatically associate grief with losing someone, but as Megan Young shares with us, grief touches our lives in many ways. We talked with Megan about a couple areas of grief that we – and a lot of our listeners, maybe? – connect with: the “lost professional” grief and “mother needing to redefine her life” grief.
Megan knows first-hand what it’s like to walk through grief, and learn how to live with loss and transition. She shared advice that is applicable to so many situations. Though our conversation centered on grief, this is far from a sad episode. We were left feeling encouraged and equipped, and we hope you will, too!
