Most coaches start their journeys because they need the very thing they end up teaching others. For our guest, facing a shocking, tragic and life-altering loss led her down the path of helping other people through grief, and understanding it at a deeper level.
Life-changing books come into our lives when we really need them, and for Laura Jack, The Grief Recovery Handbook, showed up during this challenging time in her life and changed everything.
In this episode, the Compassionate Communication Coach, Trainer for The Grief Recovery Institute®, International Best Selling Author, Speaker, and Founder of The Compassion Codecademy™ talks about this journey, and how to deal with the grieving experiences in our lives (which are more common than we think).

For heart-centered entrepreneurs, the challenge is showing up effectively without overcommitting, over-accepting and getting trapped by your own compassion and burning ourselves out in the process.
The most eye-opening and heart-opening definition of grief
Grief is the conflicting feelings that come at the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behavior. It doesn’t necessarily have to be associated with devastating experiences. Even the milestones in our lives are grieving experiences. We need to honor the feelings that come with these experiences because they are all valid.
Covid pulled the scab off grief
Covid was a major awakening in our understanding of grief. It exposed a lot of the infected unresolved wounds we were ignoring because we were busy and distracted. When the pandemic hit, we didn’t have anywhere to hide from these feelings.
