Tabby shares her deeply personal transformation after losing her father at sixteen and her husband Simon to cancer, revealing how grief isn't limited to bereavement—it stems from job loss, broken relationships, and major life shifts. While standard corporate policies treat loss as a short-term HR checklist, grief is actually a long-term mental health reality that temporarily changes your energetic capacity.
Together, they challenge the toxic myth of ”getting over it” and introduce a powerful mindset shift: growing with grief. Listeners will discover how to reframe emotional pain, stop masking to make others comfortable, and embrace emotional duality so joy and sorrow can coexist.
