Description

In this moving episode of the Coach Write Podcast, Helen speaks with executive coach Carolyn Cowperthwaite about co-authoring ‘The Grief Book’ - a guide for those experiencing loss.

Carolyn shares her journey to becoming an executive coach, and how a kitchen conversation with her neighbour led to a two-year writing collaboration that resulted in a book designed specifically for those ‘middle of the night moments of grief.’

We cover:

• The emotional journey of writing about grief while processing personal losses
• Co-authoring strategies and the importance of trust and care between writing partners
• Why they chose simplicity over academic complexity for their readers
• The decision not to market a grief book and letting it find its audience organically
• How community and collaboration can transform the solitary act of writing
