What does it really look like to keep showing up for your business while navigating loss?

In this deeply human conversation, I’m joined by Vicki Paris Goodman, author of To Sam With Love, to talk about grief and productivity balance, and how we can keep moving forward without guilt when life turns upside down.

Vicki shares her story of losing her husband and finding unexpected optimism after his passing. From rejoining her orchestra to writing a book, she found purpose and meaning after loss while honoring her grief along the way.

We explore why it’s not about “getting over it,” but about allowing yourself to grow while grieving. Whether you’re running a business, leading a team, or simply trying to make it through the day, this episode offers grounded inspiration on working while grieving without losing yourself, how Type A personalities handle loss differently, and finding meaning after loss even when it feels impossible.

Even if you’re not navigating grief, this episode is for anyone facing one of life’s unexpected curveballs that make it hard to stay focused, show up, and keep moving forward, with real lessons in finding balance, purpose, and peace along the way.
