Today, Jas Rawlinson is joined by Marie Alessi – Legacy Coach, Best-Selling Author, TEDx speaker, and founder of ‘Loving Life After Loss.’
After her husband passed from a brain aneurysm in 2018, Marie was left in a space of deep grief, and it was here that she made the decision to actively rediscover joy as a way of honoring Rob and his memory. In her own words, she ‘instinctively knew it was the only path worthy for her young boys.’ Since that time, Marie has authored two books (Happy Healing and Loving Life after Loss) and has become a shining example of choosing Love over fear and sadness. Through her movement ‘Loving Life After Loss’ she has dedicated her life to interrupting the stigma of grief, and 'offering hope, healing, and happiness when people expect it the least and need it the most.'
In today’s episode, Marie & Jas discuss:
Marie’s journey through grief and healing, after the loss of her husband Rob
The raw and real truth behind what it was like to write her first book, ‘Loving Life after Loss’ only 4 months after Rob’s death
Marie’s process of discovering her ‘flow state’, and how she gets into a creative flow when writing
Why you should think twice about using phrases like ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ when someone has lost a family member
The inspiration behind her movement, Loving Life After Loss, and her program Blank Canvas
And why Marie is on a mission to help heal the world and to empower people to understand that joy and grief can exist in tandemConnect with Marie at: MarieAlessi.com or LovingLifeAfterLoss
