Dara Kurtz after being diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42, left her 20 year career as a financial advisor to focus on writing, speaking and podcasting to help people through her experiences. Today, her personal blog, Crazy Perfect Life reached over 200,000 followers. Dara has been a guest on over 60 podcast, TV radio shows. And her latest book is “I Am My Mother's Daughter”, wisdom of life, loss and love there. His goal is to use her life experiences to help people strengthen their relationships and create more happiness and joy in their everyday lives. 

 

Dara is a mom with two gorgeous daughters, one is currently studying in college and the other one has just graduated. She lives in North Carolina with her husband and has been married for almost 30 years. 

 

In this episode, we dive deep into acknowledging deeply buried feelings to allow yourself to grieve, daily tools to help you navigate life and how to process guilt of enjoying life while remembering the people you lost. Dara also shared about being pregnant while knowing her Mother has stage 4 cancer, reading the bag of letters written by her Mom and Grandmother, and how she remembers the people she lost through reliving what they love doing.

 

“I think sometimes we're afraid to talk about the past, we're afraid to talk about people that we've lost because it hurts, it's painful. But most of the time people really want to talk about people what they've lost. They want to share. It feels good when we open up space and we give ourselves permission to do that. It's really a way to not only connect the past with the present, but also to feel that loss but also to remember the good times and count the blessings and feel joyful for what we had. And I think what's really important is to focus on what you had, not what you lost.” - Dara Kurtz
