Please note: today's discussion is centered around an abuse survival story. 

 

When it comes to dealing with different kinds of grief, whose grief is the worst? Losing a child? A spouse? A parent? The truth-it’s always our own. And yet, the more we connect instead of compare, the more we will find healing. Author and actress Amy Chesler is with us today to share her own healing journey as she dealt with the tragedy that her brother killed her mother. That kind of pain sounds unfathomable, but through time and writing, Amy has discovered the power of her voice. When she has chosen to speak out about her pain, it has enabled others to find their voices as well. As she has connected to others in her story-telling, the loss of her mom is in some way redeemed. 

 

You’ll get a good laugh learning about what it was like for Amy to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger or the time Amy got Corey Feldman to go on a date with her mom. Learn how Amy has taken her grief and used it as a platform to call B.S. on the criminal justice system and why she will always refuse to stay quiet when it comes to abuse. Stay connected to Amy on social media to be the first to know when her true crime memoir is available. 

 

In this episode, we’ll explore: 

• How there is power and healing through expressing the written word
• Why the less we talk the more power we give to abusers
• When death means something different
• Why support doesn’t always have to say yes
• How your perspective in loss and grieving is everything
• Win or learn-you’ll never loose

 

“Once you decide authenticity is your message, it doesn’t matter what the noise is around you.  ”
