In this profoundly moving episode, I’m joined by my dear friend David Kessler to discuss his groundbreaking work on grief and healing. David shares insights from his Finding Meaning Workbook, which offers powerful tools for navigating loss, trauma, and the path to meaning. We explore how grief comes in many forms—the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of self—and how, ultimately, healing is about reclaiming your story and becoming the hero of your journey.
We also discuss the fact that grief isn’t linear, the vital role of self-compassion, and why forgiveness sometimes feels impossible. David shares why meaning isn’t found in tragic events but in how we rise after them. This conversation is an invitation to start healing and step into the fullness of your own life.
Listen to The Nancy Levin Show: Episode 174 to gain perspective on grief and how to take steps toward healing and empowerment.
