If addiction, grief, or the trauma of losing someone you love has touched your life, this episode offers a compassionate hand to hold. Jill Hart sits down with psychotherapist and author Sally McQuillen, who shares her deeply personal journey of losing her son to addiction—and how that loss became the spark for healing others.
Together, they explore:
💔 The hidden impact of addiction on families
🕊️ How fear shapes parenting and the power of letting go
📖 The soul-healing story behind Sally’s book Reaching for Beautiful
💡 Why we can grieve and grow at the same time
🌿 What Sally learned about purpose, presence, and spiritual connection from the other side of loss
Sally’s message is clear: your grief doesn’t have to define you. There is beauty to reach for—even in the hardest moments.
