I’m so excited for you to hear my conversation with today’s guest. He’s an entrepreneur, author, father, and (other than my husband) he happens to be the only other male guest I’ve had on the show so far. Michell C Clark shares his powerful story of overcoming depression, and what it was like for him to navigate mental health struggles as a parent. He shares feeling like he wasn't doing enough in all his different roles and how powerful it was for him to connect with other fathers who understood what he was going through. He also shares about his new book "Eyes on the Road" which helped him process so much of what he experienced through the pandemic, becoming a father, and the growth he’s been through in the past few years. This was another incredible episode I got to film in person while I was in New York City. It was so great to have this vulnerable and real conversation with Michell. We had such a great time and I hope this can be a resource for you and anyone who may be struggling with depression. None of us are alone in what we are feeling.

We’re back with another episode I filmed in New York City! I got to sit down with my dear friend Noelle to discuss grief and the holidays. Noelle has experienced tremendous loss in her life, losing both of her parents at a young age. Yet through it all, she has found a way to not only carry on traditions that connect her to her past, but to create new memories and traditions with her daughter Ever. It was so inspiring to listen to Noelle share the many layers of her grief journey and how motherhood has given her a new lens through which to view her relationship with her own mom. Noelle has demonstrated that while grief is a dance between sadness and joy, finding ways to honor our loved ones keeps their memory alive. I hope this conversation helps you as you head into the holiday season.

HIGHLIGHTS

03:45 How Noelle experienced grief and loss differently at different ages.

08:15 Grief, motherhood, and memories after losing a parent.
