                    4. Grief, Joy, and Loving Life after Loss with best-selling author Marie Alessi

                      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 tandem

Upon exiting the industry, Deanna found Refuge for Women, a place she could heal specifically from the trauma of exploitation and, in her own words, ‘the wounds that made selling sex look like a viable option in my teenage years.” After graduating from their program in 2012, she earned a master’s degree from Asbury Theological Seminary, and today, is the author of two books: Purchased, and Integrated.

                                  Hey fellow Changemaker!

                                  Today, I wanted to take you behind the scenes of my writing and editing process, for my soon-to-be-released fourth book, 'The Stories We Carry.'

                                  I'll be sharing with you:

                                  • How long it took me to write a 97,000 word manuscript (around my work as a book coach)
                                  • What the editing process was like
                                  • The tools and strategies I used to avoid re-traumatising myself, while writing and recalling some very difficult memories


                                    • I'll also be very real and transparent with you about my experiences with emotional burnout, and how I came through the other side.
