What tools have helped you to express and move through the emotions of grief and happiness? Whether it is writing, speaking, support groups, or the many other tools and resources, lean into what helps you process your feelings. 

In this seventeenth episode together, I am so excited to be joined by the wonderful John Polo.  In January of 2016, John lost his wife, Michelle, to cancer. This loss led John into intense and deep grieving consumed by desperation and despair, and he held on long enough until he found hope. And he slowly rebuilt, turning to writing to process his emotions.  Today John helps others through his social media, books, coaching, workshops, speeches and podcasts.  He is the author of three books, host of two podcasts and has worked with clients on thousands of coaching sessions. From grief to dating, self-growth and everything in between, John offers a style of coaching that is personalized and unique for each individual.

 Throughout this episode, John vulnerably shares the story of losing his wife Michelle to cancer. He talks about the benefits that writing has provided him throughout his grieving, what his perspective is on grief and happiness, why we have to be our own biggest supporter during grief, and so much more. I really enjoyed this conversation with John and I hope his insights and lessons help you along your grief and happiness journey.
