In this episode, Shannon shares her journey to find herself and how she navigated the challenges of grief after the traumatic loss of her daughter Katie.

1. The first step through grief recognizes the choice that you have, both options are difficult, and neither will change your loss. To remain in grief or get out of bed and attempt to move forward and find joy in life again.

2. How she started by doing one small thing every day, how the same thing did not always work every day, but over time the little things compounded, and she slowly moved forward.

3. The recognition that what works for her may not work for you. Every grief experience is different. Allowing yourself to feel on the hard days and remembering to find comfort in the small things: Dog cuddles, nature, coffee and conversation with those you love.
