In this heartfelt and hope-filled episode of Second Act Sessions, Stephanie welcomes Chris Mamone — an Acceptance Coach, grief advocate, and founder of The Empowered Grief Journey. After the devastating loss of his son, Chris turned his pain into purpose by helping others move through grief, trauma, and major life transitions with compassion and acceptance. Today, he coaches individuals who feel stuck in their healing, guiding them toward a renewed sense of peace and meaning.
This conversation explores how grief can become a gateway to transformation. Rather than viewing loss as an ending, Chris helps others see it as an invitation to rediscover identity, connection, and purpose. Together, Stephanie and Chris discuss what it means to live again after deep loss, the difference between surviving and truly healing, and how acceptance opens the door to a new beginning — a second act.
Listeners will walk away reminded that no matter what kind of loss they’ve faced — a loved one, a marriage, a dream, or a version of themselves — there is always hope on the other side of heartbreak. Grief doesn’t have to be the end of your story. It can be the beginning of your becoming.
