How do you move on after the most difficult loss one can experience?  How do you get up every day and move forward?  And how do you make meaning of what happened and find purpose again?  

None of us get to midlife without experiencing some type of loss, but today’s guest has some inspiring words for us all! 

Andrea Sonnenburg is a lawyer, mental health advocate, and mother with a powerful tale of resilience. After the tragic loss of her son, Bradley, Andrea found a path to healing and is now on a mission to help others who are touched by mental illness. 


She shares her journey, the early days of coping with the insurmountable grief, and how she slowly put the pieces of herself back together again.

You will learn about:

• What the early signs of mental illness look like.
• The ONE thing everyone who is struggling with anything needs to do.
• The two books that empowered Andrea's post-traumatic growth.
• How Andrea keeps Bradley in her heart through the advocacy work.
• The healing power of community and how alternative healing modalities helped. 
• Andrea’s love of literacy and how it helped her write educational children's books on anxiety and mental health issues. 
• 3 ways to manage the holidays after a loss.

And wait for Andrea's confession at the end!!

Her story is not just a narrative of loss but a beacon of hope for anyone seeking strength in the darkest of times. 

With warmth and courage,

Laurie
