Grief & Guts Melissa Dlugolecki

Each episode we abandon our comfort zones to get a little gutsy and hold space to grow into stronger versions of ourselves. In 2014, the birth of my daughter Leyden changed my entire world. Four months later, grief shattered it. I was broken, scared, lost, angry, and hopeless. I didn’t want to live and wasn’t really sure how to. I sought every means to “fight” grief: researching, joining parent groups, and I even traveled outside of the country twice, to hear world-renowned grief speaker Dr. Raymond Moody. Disappointed, I discovered like all adversities in life, there is no way to “beat” grief. But, thankfully, there were effective strategies I could employ when navigating such choppy waters. Whether it was understanding the gut-brain connection, or getting gutsy in my ability to face discomfort, the tools I learned, saved my life. There are not nearly enough resources to support each other through uncomfortable challenges – be it the loss of a job, a relationship, a sense of self… or life. Talking about uncomfortable things, well that takes guts. And we are going to get really gutsy here.

mel thanks for this episode great reframe for letting go of love for me. worthy of love but not entitled to someone if they cannot meet me the same way.
Mel epitomizes the coach I’ve always needed
I just can’t get enough of Mels guidance wisdom. I could listen to this podcast on repeat every day and I just so appreciate her consistent sharing. I was fortunate to work with Mel in her 90DAYCEO program to experience her coaching first hand - this podcast is a great tool for anyone looking for REAL self improvement.
This podcast saved me!
Melissa speaks to me. I took her yoga class once and had such a powerful experience. I’ve been following her ever since. She has gotten me through the toughest of times and continues to provide me with new ways to conquer life. Must listen!
