I was deeply moved by my guest Lisa Boehm. Lisa's life changed forever when her daughter, Katie, was killed in a car accident – an experience no parent should ever have to endure. In the years since, she's found remarkable strength and purpose, transforming her grief into a force for healing and connection. This is probably the most difficult interview I've ever done. I hope you find it as powerful as I did.
Lisa is a certified grief educator, author of Journey to Healing: A Mother's Guide to Navigating Child Loss, and founder of the Angel Moms Community, where she supports other parents walking this most difficult path.
