This conversation is with Atika (@myavaaz), a friend of mine, who lost her mum within 17 days of being diagnosed to cancer. 

She talks fondly about her mum, precious memories and what it’s been like as a grieving daughter and a mother of two as well. 

In this episode I am joined by the wonderful Nesreen Ahmed (@harbourlightcoaching).

After losing mum, I lost myself as a person. I couldn’t think about my future and I certainly didn’t think happiness could exist again. I learnt to let my guards down and trust the path that was chosen for me.
