In this gripping episode of Good Grief, Dr. Christine Malone welcomes Brenda Coffee, author of Maya Blue, to share her extraordinary journey of surviving love, betrayal, danger, and profound loss. Brenda recounts how a fairy-tale marriage to a technology pioneer spiraled into a life marked by addiction, high-stakes risks, and personal abandonment. From navigating the eerie "Spy House on the Hill" to surviving a terrifying encounter with Guatemalan soldiers, Brenda’s story is a breathtaking testament to resilience and self-reclamation. Together, Christine and Brenda explore the emotional tipping points that led to reclaiming her voice, grieving unimaginable losses, enduring breast cancer, and finding the courage to live fully again. This conversation reminds us that true survival is not just about escaping darkness, but about rediscovering the light within.
