In episode 96 of Hashtag No Filter Julie talks to author, podcaster, and social entrepreneur Nora McInerny, who has a story unlike most. In 2014, within a 6-week period of time, Nora lost her husband, father, and had a miscarriage. Yes, you read that correctly. Nora turned a mess into a message and a purpose and a passion. She is such an incredibly real, inspiring, motivational, and hysterical woman.

In the episode Julie and Nora talk all about how Nora handled these tragedies, what happened immediately following for her and how things shifted over time, widowhood, before and after moments, how things rarely go according to plan, advice for someone grieving a loved one, as well as someone mourning the loss of a relationship in another way, the importance of sitting with your feelings, denial, the vicious cycle of making up stories in one's head, negativity bias, social media and the comparison game, the need for external validation, dating after becoming a widow, dating after divorce, and SO much more.
