In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Marie Alessi—mother, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker—who turned unimaginable loss into a journey of love, light, and healing. When her husband Rob suddenly passed from a brain aneurysm, Marie was faced with the profound choice of how to move forward for herself and their two young boys. Guided by Rob's lesson of "two choices," she chose to honor his memory by embracing joy, love, and resilience instead of fear and despair.
Marie shares her powerful perspective on grief, reminding us that while loss is inevitable, how we choose to live afterward is where our strength is revealed. Through her keynote, The Power of Grief, she has made it her mission to help others reframe the way we view grief—bringing more compassion, understanding, and lightness to a subject often shrouded in darkness.
This conversation is an inspiring reminder that healing is possible, even in the face of heartbreak. Marie's story encourages us to lean into love, embrace life fully, and find meaning in the moments that matter most. Her message is a gift for anyone navigating loss or supporting someone through it.
