Laura Jack: Redefining and Reframing Grief and Rage

As Founder of The Compassion Code Academy®, Compassionate Communication Coach, International Best Selling Author, and Trainer for The Grief Recovery Institute®, Laura Jack guides heart-centered leaders to relate, communicate and lead more compassionately through loss and change of any kind – without burning out.

I invited Laura to come on the show to talk about the story of losing her mom – a story of sudden tragedy, marked by heartbreak, grief, and ultimately, triumph.

Listen in to hear Laura share:

The story and deep impact of losing her mom in freak tragic accident in 2008
The unrooting of losing her mom and how she had to rebuild her sense of identity after that loss
How motherhood is a grieving experience that no one warned you about
How to redefine and reframe grief
How her former life as Little Miss Sunshine & Silver Linings diminished her capacity to be compassionate toward others and how she had to learn to stop suppressing negative feelings
How she found her “Monster Mommy” through her son after suppressing anger and hard feelings throughout her life
How she teaches moms to rage in a safe and productive way
How we are all constantly navigating grief and the key the managing the constant inevitable grief we endure
