Grief has a way of changing everything. It reshapes your priorities, your relationships, the way you parent, and even the person you become. For Alex Faggetter, losing her sister Georgia just months after a cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for a profound transformation, changing not only how she viewed life, but how she chose to live it.
Now, Alex is a mum of two, the founder of You By Alex and a wellbeing advocate, who now helps women reconnect with themselves through every stage of life.
In this episode she shares:
- How losing her sister changed the way she sees life, motherhood and grief.
- Why years of people pleasing left her feeling empty and what helped her finally break the cycle.
- The surprising moment she realised she had finally become the version of herself she'd been searching for.
- Why simplifying her life transformed her mental wellbeing.
- How grief inspired her to create You By Alex in honour of her sister.
- Why spending time alone became one of the most powerful parts of her healing.
- Her perspective on raising children through loss while allowing them to experience difficult emotions.
- Why she believes saying yes to opportunities and giving everything a go leads to a richer life.
