In this deeply heartfelt episode of Healthy Living, Happy Midlife, Denise Stegall, the Menopause Mentor, welcomes emotional alignment coach and author Tess Booker for an honest and healing conversation about grief, transformation, and the courage to keep living fully through life’s hardest moments. Denise and Tess explore what happens when life delivers those phone calls we all dread — the loss of a loved one — and how we can process grief not as a single emotion, but as a journey filled with every emotion imaginable. Together, they share how coaches, clients, and anyone navigating change can find grace, purpose, and growth in the middle of heartbreak. Whether you’re supporting someone through grief or walking that path yourself, this episode offers comfort, perspective, and hope — reminding us that transformation is simply life changing form, not disappearing. Three Things You’ll Learn: - The truth about grief: why it isn’t one emotion but a process filled with many feelings — from anger and sadness to love and acceptance. - How coaches can hold space for clients in pain while maintaining their own emotional safety and alignment. - How transformation mirrors nature: like ice turning to water and vapor, life and loss are simply changes in form, not an end. Three Key Takeaways: - Grief isn’t something to fix — it’s something to feel, to move through, and to honor. - Healing comes when we stop separating our mind, body, and spirit, and begin living as whole, integrated beings. - Presence is the greatest gift — for ourselves and others. When we hold space without judgment, we create room for peace, clarity, and renewal. ____________________________________________________________________ Connect with Tess Booker: https://tessbooker.com/ Work with Denise: Schedule your free call today → https://bit.ly/FWLStrategy Grab Denise’s best-selling book Healthy Living, Happy Life for more practical wellness strategies. https://amzn.to/469VxSn Watch on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/lQi9UyB8x_U
