Leading While Grieving with Hannah Wachter - RAL 81

In this episode, Leading While Grieving with Hannah Wachter, Benjamin and Hannah start off exploring her transformation from a grieving daughter to an executive grief coach. She bravely shared how the loss of her mother influenced her leadership and prompted her to challenge the misconceptions of grief in Western society. Hannah stressed the importance of acknowledging and accepting grief, and she offered some invaluable advice on how leaders can honor their loved ones while also processing their grief. The conversation took a deeper turn as they began to discuss fear as a manifestation of grief, and how this often misunderstood emotion can greatly impact the grieving process.  This is an essential conversation for everyone who has lost someone. Hannah has a graduate degree in Christian Leadership and has worked as a mindset coach before focusing on coaching clients through grief recovery.

Episode Quote:

"Find a space where you can open up and express your grief , which is your own. You are not going to grieve like anyone else because your story is unique and your loss unique to you. Don't compare your grief to anyone else's grief. You don't get over the loss of someone you loved, but you can work through the pain and come out on the other side. Jesus grieved, it's human."
