Diva Tonight with Carlene Humphrey

We speak with author and mom Michaela Cox about turning the 38 Triple D—disability, divorce, and death—into a clear roadmap from surviving to thriving. She shares the five keys of “grace,” how year two of grief can hit hardest, and why self-care isn’t optional when parenting through loss.

• framing the 38 Triple D: disability, divorce, death
• sudden widowhood with young children and rebuilding support
• why year two of grief often feels worse than year one
• moving home fast and making unavoidable decisions
• writing origins, audiobooks, and access with legal blindness
• the five keys: grounding, redesign, mindset, care, equip
• choosing agency over victimhood and redefining normal
• practical self-care that fuels clarity and focus
• which book to start with: Now I See

This is the link to my TEDx that I gave in fall of 2023. I share my story of what it has been like to answer the knocks at my life's door and navigate through (what I call 38DDD) a life long Disability of legal blindness, Divorce at 26 (in 2005), and Death of beloved husband in 2017. It has taught many things about overcoming, not just surviving, and thriving.
