Navigating Grief, Building a Business and the Power of Human Connection with Stacy Scarsella
Description
Most of us spend our lives running away from the moments that actually define us until we have no choice but to stand still and look them in the face.
Stacy Scarsella joined me to talk about the raw reality of loss and the resilience required to turn a personal tragedy into a purposeful life. We dig into why community is the only thing that keeps us upright when our "rock" is gone and how to parent with intention in a world that wants us to be distracted.
Let’s Chat:
How a life-altering diagnosis at 25 reframed Stacy's perspective on the future
The complex reality of "incorrect" grief
Leaving the corporate world to reclaim time with family and step confidently into building a business
Practical parenting tools including box breathing, mantra cards and "highs and lows" at dinner
