Description
Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, I wanted to start things off by revisiting a powerful conversation I had with Dr. Ken Druck.
In this special episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ken Druck, a Ph.D. and renowned grief expert, for a heartfelt discussion about navigating life’s inevitable "what now" moments—those times when everything changes, and we're left searching for direction.
Whether we’re facing personal challenges or grappling with the larger uncertainties of today’s world, Dr. Ken offers a compassionate perspective on how to transform even the most difficult moments into opportunities for growth and healing. He dives into the importance of finding common ground, cultivating empathy, and building connections across divides—even when faced with opposing viewpoints.
We also talk about the universality of grief, touching on how it binds us as human beings and how, despite its weight, it can be a gateway to compassion and unexpected friendships. Dr. Ken shares profound insights into the struggles parents face in today’s ever-changing world, highlighting key themes like self-compassion, patience, and humility as essential tools for navigating loss and uncertainty.
This conversation is a testament to the enduring nature of love, the courage to keep going, and the possibility of rediscovering moments of joy amidst profound loss. Dr. Ken’s wisdom reminds us that while grief is universal, so too is the potential for healing and hope.
