Using Unconditional Love To Navigate Grief with Mike Murphy
If you go through grief soberly, with intention, and feel it. If you don't escape it, run from it, and don't medicate against it, you will evolve into a bigger, better, more loving person, for sure.
In this episode, I'm joined by Mike Murphy, a bestselling author, speaker, coach, and consultant. After almost ten years of battling breast cancer, Mike's wife, Margot, learned the disease was spreading to her brain. The oncologist explained: "If you do nothing, you have six weeks to live; if you start treatment, you have six months." For the next six months, Margot and Mike enjoyed every day as if she were going to beat cancer, and at night they'd get ready for her last breath. Margot's final six months inspired "Living in Color," a moving and honest memoir, where Mike describes the passion and courageous attitude Margot had in her almost ten years battle with breast cancer.
Mike also created the Love From Margot Foundation, which has helped hundreds of women with breast cancer living below the poverty line.
Throughout this episode, we chat about life and death, grief, legacy, and purpose. Mike talks about the changes Margot's death produced in him, how it changed his views on transitioning, his purpose in life, and navigating grief. We also go through the Transformational Health Retreat Mike is building in Colombia, Mike's passion for helping people around the world figure out how the universe really works, and so much more.
Tune in and listen to episode 136 to learn about Mike's grief journey and his passion for helping others find happiness and fulfillment.
