Marcee Doherty is a full-time healthcare analytics professional, a full-time PhD student, a part-time professional actor, and a full time dog mom.

Both Dr. Mia Johnson and Dr. Julia Porter are adjunct professors in the PhD program in Global Leadership, where Marcee is a student. Once she heard their presentation on Grief, Trauma, and Leadership at a residency weekend, she realized she fell into the category of compound grief, or a "grief cluster," where multiple things happen at once. Following the loss of her dog, Marcee also got divorced and lost her father. In this episode, she candidly shares her story and how all of this grief combined affected her.
