Shameless Leadership

603: Laura Jack: Redefining and Reframing Grief and Rage

Listen Later

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
