In this Good Grief episode, Dr. Christine Malone speaks with leadership expert, spiritual teacher, and author Cynthia Rivard about how grief—whether personal or collective—can be transformed into a source of strength, compassion, and action. Drawing from her upcoming book A New Breed of Leader, Cynthia shares how understanding emotions as energy can help move us through the heaviness of loss, how small acts of “micro-leadership” can restore agency in times of trauma, and why cultivating inner peace is essential for both personal healing and positive community change. Together, they explore how leading from the heart, even in the midst of grief, can ripple outward to heal relationships, inspire others, and spark a peaceful revolution toward a more compassionate world.
