In this powerful episode, we sit down with Michelle Peticolas ⁩, a grief expert and coach, to explore the transformational power of grief and how it can serve as a doorway to healing and self-discovery.  

Michelle opens up about her personal struggles, including how, for 13 years, she couldn’t include her Ph.D. on her title or CV due to her father's disapproval—an experience that left her feeling ashamed and fearful of losing her job. She also shares how people-pleasing kept her from forming a deeper connection with her mother before her passing.  

Through this conversation, we uncover:  
✅ Joy as a Practice – Finding happiness even in the face of loss  
✅ Complex vs. Traditional Grief – Understanding the deeper layers of mourning  
✅ The SERVE Framework – A structured approach to overcoming grief  
✅ The Survival Response to Loss – Why grief affects us the way it does  

Michelle’s journey is a testament to resilience and transformation. If you're struggling with loss or seeking practical tools for healing, this episode is a must-watch!
