\"Grief sucks. It's also weird.\" How do we heal from deep grief and loss? In this deeply moving conversation, writer, advocate, and bestselling author of Normal Broken and The Luckiest, Kelly Cervantes sits down with Stephanie to talk about the unvarnished, non-linear reality of grief and loss. After losing her daughter, Adelaide, to a severe neurodegenerative disorder in 2019, Kelly has become a role model of honesty for anyone trying to navigate life after unimaginable heartbreak. This episode dives straight into what it truly means to sit in the dark, manage the messiness of healing, and figure out who you are when life forces a complete, devastating pivot. For Kelly, the best form of deep healing could happen through writing. Kelly's story teaches us how to stop putting pressure on ourselves to \"move on\" and instead learn how to sit within your loss and sorrow. Grief doesn’t follow a neat tick box of stages, and it's completely normal to feel like you are falling apart at times. Whatever weird, isolating, or exhausting emotions you are experiencing, you are not alone in them. Kelly shows us how she transformed her personal pain into a lifeline for others, proving that our darkest moments can forge a path toward bravery and community. Remember, grief and love are two sides of the same coin! This is a story to help others navigate life's unpredictable hardships: you are not alone! If you are carrying loss, supporting someone who is, or simply trying to find your way through in a season of transition, let this conversation sit with you. Apart from her bestselling book, Normal Broken, Kelly also released the deeply personal memoir The Luckiest: A Memoir of Love, Loss, Motherhood, and the Pursuit of Self, alongside writing her Substack, Inchstones. Today, she serves as board chair for CURE Epilepsy, hosts the Seizing Life podcast, and travels widely as a speaker on resilience and grief. 00:00 - 04:35 Meet Kelly 04:35 - 07:37 Kelly's Writing Journey 07:37 - 09:10 Main Motivator 09:10 - 10:40 Top Tips 10:40 - 12:48 Resilience and Strength Connect with Kelly Cervantes & Explore Her Books: https://www.kellycervantes.com/
