Ep 197 - Nash Mackey | Death: Finding the Silver Lining
In our opinion, this is one of the most important conversations we’ve ever had.
Nash, a leading Australian Breakthrough Coach, shares his deeply personal story of losing both of his siblings within a very short period of time. Rather than succumbing to despair, Nash channelled his grief into extraordinary growth, setting a world record to raise awareness about the importance of checking in with loved ones. He delves into navigating death in a death-phobic culture, offering insights into finding courage and purpose even in the darkest of times.
Joel also shares a personal story of his family’s miscarriage experience, leading to a meaningful discussion on finding the silver lining in death and reframing it as an opportunity for balance and growth. Through this conversation, listeners are invited to explore how resilience, perspective, and a commitment to personal mastery can transform even the most profound loss into a path toward healing and strength.
