Tim Bigonia, creator and podcast host of Journey to Grateful, joins me today to talk about what it’s like to return to your happy place, be that a Disney destination or another special place, after a loved one has passed. 

This is one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had on the show. Everyone can relate to either grief from a loved one’s passing or supporting friends and family who are grieving. Thanks to Tim for his honesty and vulnerability about his grief journey, and his family’s experience returning to Walt Disney World without his wife after her passing, and later Tim going to Walt Disney World solo.
