    Learning More about Coping with Grief with Alison Pena

    This podcast explores the difficult topic of coping with grief. Losing a loved one can be one of the most challenging experiences in life, and the process of grieving can be overwhelming and confusing. In this episode, I speak with Alison Pena who lost her husband, David Beynon Pena to Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult experiences in life. Grief is a process that can't be rushed, so it's crucial to take the time you need to move through it on your own timeline. Remember, it's okay to feel sadness, anger, and confusion during this time. While the death of a loved one is a common type of loss, other types of losses like a pandemic, business failure, job loss, divorce, death of a pet, damaged relationships in your circle, your own illness, or even aging can also cause feelings of grief. You should allow yourself to grieve these losses and seek support if you need it. By taking these steps, you can begin to take back your life after loss and find hope for your future.

    Living Vicariously Through Yourself: How to Tune Out External and Internal Voices and Embrace Your Authentic Self with Angela Marshall

    We learn more in this episode about living vicariously through yourself. My guest, Angela Marshall, and I discuss not listening to external voices, ignoring those negative internal voices, and being who you are. We discuss what we have learned from our personal experiences. Being who you are, rather than who others want you to be, is an essential aspect of living a fulfilling life. It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to please others and meet their expectations. However, in doing so, we can lose sight of our own desires and passions. When you prioritize your authentic self, you'll attract people who appreciate and accept you for who you are, rather than for what you can do for them. It takes courage to be yourself and live authentically, but the rewards are worth it - you'll experience greater joy, meaning, and fulfillment in your life. The goal is to inspire and motivate you to believe in your abilities and not let external negativity hold you back. Angela Marshall is a motivational speaker, best-selling author, creative consultant, ex-NFL wife, and owner of the business "In Other Words, By Stone". She uses her life experiences to inspire and motivate others while advocating for her community and supporting youth mentorship. Angela resigned from her corporate job to focus on her passion for helping others and has been featured in multiple platforms, including "Women Who Lead" anthology. Her auto-biography "Reality to Rags to Riches; The Story and Life of an Ex-NFL Wife" chronicles her journey from a lavish but unfulfilling lifestyle to finding her purpose. Angela is also a member of various organizations, including the Professional Women’s Networking Association and the African American Authors for Literacy Campaign.
