Conquered: Margaret Dennis’ Journey With Grief, #719

Everybody has felt grief at least once in their life. And no, the famous belief that grief only comes from the loss of a loved one is not true. It comes with a lot of things, especially a drastic change or loss in one’s life - change in status, alteration of relationships, adjustments in the environment. The list goes on and on. In this episode, we are joined by a women’s empowerment counselor and a grief educator who aims to make people understand their grief and how to deal with it. She talks about the possibility of living the ultimate life amidst grief, and how she personally dealt with it when it came her way. We dig deep into the effect of society’s standards in our life, how to conquer the recurring fear of rejection, judgment, and failure, and how you can process your emotions.
