The Email I Almost Ignored — And Why It Changed Everything
Episode Summary
Sometimes the most meaningful reminders of why we do what we do come when we least expect them. In this episode, I share the story of an email I almost deleted—a message buried in my inbox that turned out to be a powerful affirmation of the work I’ve been doing for nearly 500 episodes of Grief 2 Growth.
I open up about what it’s really like to host a podcast in a world obsessed with big numbers and viral moments—how some days it feels like I’m speaking into the void, and why I keep going anyway. You’ll hear about the heart behind Grief 2 Growth, the remarkable guests I’ve had the honor of interviewing, and the personal legacy I’m carrying forward in my own way.
Whether you’re navigating grief, creating something you hope will matter, or simply wondering if the quiet work you’re doing is making a difference—this episode is a reminder that impact is not always measured in millions. Sometimes, it’s measured one heart at a time.
