Shameless Leadership

674: Navigating the Loss of a Complicated Parent


Listen Later

I sat down to write notes before recording this episode at least 14 times. 


Each time I could not find a starting point. Or an ending point.  


So, I decided to just hit record. With no notes.  


In this episode I share my relationship with my dad with you. For the last 10 years, it was complicated and confusing. It was a relationship that never had closure, but ultimately has peace. 


Since his passing, so many of you have reached out to share your love. Thank you. I appreciate you - so much.  


I have also heard from many of you who have complicated and confusing parent relationships. I recorded this for you. When we have pieces of our lives that are complicated and confusing it helps so much to hear from others who have a similar lived experience. It makes you feel seen and held. It helps you feel less alone and more normal. I SEE YOU. You are not alone.
