Episode 57: Grief, Purpose & Resilience: Heidi Prowse on Losing Her Husband and Leading Through Healing

In this heartfelt episode of The Empowered Grief Journey Podcast, host Chris Mamone sits down with Australian community advocate and author Heidi Prowse, OAM, to explore her journey through grief, leadership, and healing.

After the passing of her husband Andrew to cystic fibrosis, Heidi found herself navigating a new world of sorrow, identity, and rediscovery. Rather than retreat from life, she stepped into a deeper calling—advocating for mental health, supporting others facing health challenges, and using her voice to make meaning from loss.

Heidi shares her story with warmth, wisdom, and raw honesty, reminding us that even in our darkest seasons, purpose and connection are still possible.

Whether you're grieving, leading, or searching for hope, this episode offers a gentle yet powerful reminder: you don’t have to be whole to be helpful, and healing doesn’t mean hiding your pain.
