    Finding The Strength to Get Through with Elias Patras

    What does it take to find the strength to get through—and eventually begin again? In this episode of Beyond The Loss, I sit down with my dear friend Elias Patras, a life coach, speaker, retreat leader, and medium, for a conversation about grief, resilience, and trusting yourself enough to take the next step. Adopted by older parents, Elias experienced the deaths of both his mother and father just a year apart while still in his mid-30s. He shares how he navigated those profound losses and found the strength to keep moving forward. Then, during COVID, Elias made another life-changing decision: he packed up his life in Chicago and moved across the country to Washington State—with no job, no home waiting for him, and no certainty about what would come next. Within six months, he met the man who would become his husband, and today he has created a beautiful, thriving life. This is a conversation about grief, courage, starting over, and discovering that sometimes finding the strength to get through can lead us somewhere we never could have imagined.
