This special episode shines the light on something we don't often talk about candidly... Experiencing grief and loss – and not just the negative aspects but how it can also be beautiful, freeing, and empowering.

Today's guest, Sue Deagle is a veteran c-suite executive, mother, and widow, rewriting the story of loss and vibrant living.

Losing her husband to a sudden heart attack when he was only 50 changed her worldview and she, in turn, wants to change people’s relationship to loss (whether they are the ones experiencing it or they're consoling someone else).

She shares about:
- navigating loss with children
- collaborative leadership
- the “veil of the ordinary” being removed
- preparing for loss and grief
- what to say and do when someone you know is grieving
- keeping loved ones' memories alive
- moving on with strength and purpose

"I want everyone who's experienced loss to live as vibrant a life as mine. It is possible and you are not alone."

This episode applies to everyone. It will make us better leaders, and consolers, and will come in handy the next time we experience a loss of our own.
