Summary

Tune in this week for my first ever interview on the podcast. Melissa is kindly sharing her journey through grief, from the days afterward, through the widow fog, through to how she found my coaching and how she has taken ownership of every aspect of her life and decided to embrace the grief instead of constantly fighting a battle she was never going to win.
