As Founder of The Compassion Code Academy®, Compassionate Communication Coach, International Best Selling Author, and Trainer for The Grief Recovery Institute®, Laura Jack guides heart-centered leaders to relate, communicate and lead more compassionately through loss and change of any kind - without burning out.
I invited Laura to come on the show to talk about the story of losing her mom - a story of sudden tragedy, marked by heartbreak, grief, and ultimately, triumph.
Listen in to hear Laura share:
- The story and deep impact of losing her mom in freak tragic accident in 2008
- The unrooting of losing her mom and how she had to rebuild her sense of identity after that loss
- How motherhood is a grieving experience that no one warned you about
- How to redefine and reframe grief
- How her former life as Little Miss Sunshine & Silver Linings diminished her capacity to be compassionate toward others and how she had to learn to stop suppressing negative feelings
- How she found her “Monster Mommy” through her son after suppressing anger and hard feelings throughout her life
- How she teaches moms to rage in a safe and productive way
- How we are all constantly navigating grief and the key the managing the constant inevitable grief we endure
