Today’s episode will captivate you and deliver great insight, perspective, gratitude, and inspiration. It’s the story of my friend Susan Hannifin-MacNab. She shares how she wrote a book on healing to help her overcome the tragic death of her surfer/professor/bagpiper husband Brent and how she was suddenly thrust into being a single-Mom of her then 5-year old child.

 

This conversation goes deep and is full of courage, wisdom, faith, and value. I believe it will inspire you to live your best life and reinforce not taking a single day for granted. Specifically, Susan and I discuss:

 

- Susan’s “perfect” life in the suburbs to suddenly widowed with a five-year-old.

- How fitness saved Susan and how she was able to rebuild her life and restore her faith eventually.

- What would Jacob say to his father now if he could talk to him?

- Her book is called “A2Z Healing Toolbox: A Practical Guide for Navigating Grief and Trauma with Intention” and some of the 26 different tools in the book.

- Resilience: Are we born with it, or is it learned?

-Post Traumatic Growth - The five areas of growth: O.A.S.I.S.
