Imagine being 4 months pregnant, having a toddler at home and your husband suddenly and unexpectedly passes away.  This was the reality for our guest in this episode.  As parents, we often find ourselves pondering the legacy we will leave behind for our children once we are no longer here. In this episode, we have the privilege of interviewing Amanda, the owner of Small Legacies. Amanda sheds light on the intricate topic of death and dying, as she bravely shares the heart-wrenching tale of how her late husband departed this world. 

Amanda opens up about the factors that aided her in moving forward and reconstructing her life, refusing to let her late husband's death define her family. She candidly reveals to our hosts how she continues to honor his memory even seven years later. However, Amanda's journey doesn't end there. She has also managed to manifest her dreams and achieve a significant goal – delivering a powerful speech at TEDxOshkosh. Her talk centers around the defense of participation awards, as she passionately argues that "everyone is going through a battle you can't see." Drawing from personal experience, she recounts the challenging first day she returned to work after losing her beloved husband.

Through Amanda's story, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit and the strength it takes to rebuild after tragedy strikes. Her journey serves as an inspiration to all who have faced adversity, showing us that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter future.
