Taking a leap after loss
We're heading into the last few weeks of the year.
When many of us look back—and look forward.
What were the highs?
What were the lows?
What do you want to be different?
Anaïs Nin once said, “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.”
But how do we find the courage to
rebuild
reimagine
take bold steps forward
How do we start our next chapter when things have been tough?
To explore this, we were joined by Sue Deagle, twice (the upside of having tech issues the first time).
A veteran c-suite executive, mother, and widow, each week she rewrites the story of loss and vibrant living at The Luminist.
She founded it after the profound personal transformation she went through following the sudden loss of her husband, Mike.
She would give anything to have her late husband back.
But despite this, her life is vibrant, meaningful, and even miraculous thanks to the hard-won lessons of grief.
She brings loss (in all its forms) out of the shadows, shining a light on the parts of the human experience we try to avoid at all costs.
In their first conversation, held on a meaningful double anniversary, Sue spoke to Carlos and Laurence with humour and warmth about how she navigated life after her sudden bereavement.
In the second conversation, Sue, Carlos, and Laurence explored loss more widely and the courage to take the “right next step” and start a new chapter.
Sue herself is in transition, having become an 'empty nester', and earlier this year she left her corporate career to focus on The Luminist and to write her first book for The Do Lectures.
