On this episode of Teeter Talks, I sit down with Madison Lambden, homebuilding executive, community leader, and co-founder of The Nightingale Centre for Grieving Children, Youth, and Families. Madison shares her powerful journey of turning personal tragedy into purpose after the loss of her younger brother, and how that experience sparked her mission to support grieving families with compassion, connection, and care.

Join us as we dive into these key takeaways:
• "Growing in grief" Why grief doesn’t shrink, but your life can grow around it.
• How to show up for someone who is grieving: being present over being perfect.
• The five questions grieving children need answered and how to talk to kids about loss.
• Why the leadership we need today is rooted in empathy, presence, and being human first.
• Lessons from Madison’s dual roles in corporate strategy and grief advocacy.
• The transformative power of community and peer support in the healing process.

If this episode resonated, share it with someone who might need it too. You can also learn more about Madison’s work through the Nightingale Centre below.
