About the Guest:
Geoff has had, by his own admission, a full and extremely fortunate life. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts from UNSW in 1986, he spent the next 35 years working in the legal profession – initially in private practice, and then in his own consulting business, – whilst still finding time to play rugby at 1st grade level for the Warringah Rats, cricket for the North Sydney Grade Club (and more recently the NSW Over 50’s team), and to indulge his creative juices via ongoing work as an actor and freelance writer. But, in his mind at least, those pursuits have always played second fiddle to his roles as devoted husband to his wife, Linda, for the past 30 years, and proud father to their two sons, Tim and Ben. Which is why Ben’s accidental death at an Australia Day party in 2019, at age 21, rocked Geoff and his family to their very core. What do you do when everything you thought you knew about your life, and your future, is stripped from you overnight?

About the Host:
Ian Hawkins is the Founder and Host of The Grief Code. Dealing with grief firsthand with the passing of his father back in 2005 planted the seed in Ian to discover what personal freedom and legacy truly are. This experience was the start of his journey to healing the unresolved and unknown grief that was negatively impacting every area of his life. Leaning into his own intuition led him to leave corporate and follow his purpose of creating connections for himself and others.
The Grief Code is a divinely guided process that enables every living person to uncover their unresolved and unknown grief and dramatically change their lives and the lives of those they love. Thousands of people have now moved from loss to light following this exact process.
