8. Bereavement, Grief & Moving On with Donna Owindi

I started HER Converations as a way of speaking to women whose work fascinates me and facilitates my growth in the belief that this will also do the same for others.  There is also another aspect that I intend to introduce and today’s episode signals the start of that.  Like many other people I have experiences and perspectives that have severely challenged me. Of course all of those have been instrumental in forming who I am today and how I view the world.  However I many of those events hold some stigma and as a result are never openly discussed.   The thing about secrets is they fester and create within us a turbulence that can often hamper our lives. Maybe we are misunderstood, have addictions or continually sabotage our own development.  So periodically I there will be an episode that is more of a discussion where me and my guest open up about a shared experience.  Maybe the topic will mirror your life of that of somebody you know or it will simply bring a new understating to something that has not been apart of your story.  So with all that being said to this weeks episode. I am talking with my good friend Donna Owindi about how the death of a parent impacted our lives. Donnas father passed in January 2016 and my mother in August of that same year.  For more information about Donna’s work a Mind Shift Coach and Podcaster visit http://www.monversation.com
