In this heartfelt episode of Inntrospection, host Amy Lindner -Lesser shares her personal journey through grief following the loss of her husband, and how that experience reshaped her identity and life’s purpose. Originally a podcast about hospitality, Inntrospection now explores the messy, miraculous road from loss to growth.

Amy introduces the concept of a “life quake”—a seismic shift that shakes up our identity—and offers a gentle, three-step roadmap to healing:

• Recognize what’s changed and what remains

• Reclaim the strengths grief hasn’t taken

• Redesign your life with tiny horizon goals

Using metaphors like snow globes, kintsugi bowls, and kaleidoscopes, Amy illustrates how grief leaves visible cracks—but those cracks can be filled with gold, becoming part of a stronger, more resilient self.

Listeners are invited to reflect through journal prompts, guided visualization, and affirmations. Amy also busts common grief myths, like “time heals all wounds” and “you just need closure,” replacing them with empowering truths about healing and self-discovery.🔑 Key Themes
