Grief can be shattering - and it can also reveal unexpected strength and resilience. In this episode, we’re joined by Lauren Sisler, award-winning sports broadcaster, ESPN Sideline reporter, and author of Shatterproof: How I Overcame the Shame of Losing My Parents to Opioid Addiction (and Found my Sideline Shimmy). Lauren shares her powerful story of losing her parents, who died within hours of each other during her freshman year of college, and how grief, fear, and shame, kept her from telling her story. 

Lauren discusses: 

• The initial shock of loss. 

• How grief evolved for her over the years and the tools that helped. 

• The power of sharing her story and connecting with others who’ve experienced loss. 

• Insights from her book Shatterproof, including ways she's found to stay connected to her parents.
