161. From Tragedy to Strength: Navigating Brother and Parent Loss with Lauren Sisler
Manage episode 513992009 series 3557131
In this episode I'm sitting down with Lauren Sisler, award-winning ESPN sideline reporter and author of Shatterproof, to explore how grief can shape—and strengthen—our lives.
Lauren opens up about losing both of her parents to fentanyl overdoses when she was just 18, and the more recent passing of her brother.
Together we dive into the complexities of coping with sudden loss, the stigmas surrounding grief and addiction, and the importance of normalizing conversations about loss.
Through Lauren’s story, you'll gain insight into the healing process, how to build meaningful support systems, and what it means to find resilience after tragedy. Lauren also shares how her journey inspired her powerful book Shatterproof, and how it influenced her career in sports broadcasting.
