    Welcome back for episode 5, where I give you guys the inside scoop on that elephant in the room (that we all know), and a club we are all members of...grief. We bring laughter and light to the conversation, while answering this question: have we been lied to about the grief process? Special guest and 2X award-winning author Michele Leigh Greene and I also discuss her creative work, and her connection to a co- founder AND secretary of THE McDonald's! From stories about famous celebrity encounters (THE Michael Jackson) to growing up in Palm Beach, Michele has lots to say. Join us for a raw and real chat, filled with BIG surprises!
