Her baby steps out of grief lead to meaning, purpose and JOY! With guest Meg Wallace

Her baby steps out of grief lead to meaning, purpose and JOY! With guest Meg Wallace

Ep. 77

Meg taught for 15 years, and as a teacher, she traveled with her husband and young son exploring all the world had to offer. When her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer she came home to care for her and stepped into a life she didn’t recognize.

She committed every waking minute that she wasn’t at work to supporting her mother. And the only word she could use to describe that time was misery. 

When her mother passed and the time came for her to re-engage with her life and her family, she hoped that the misery she had been feeling would fall away as she processed her grief. And sadly that was not the case. 

She quickly realized that her teaching career no longer offered her the wonder and marvel she’d experienced during her travels. And after months of struggling with what she wanted to do and more importantly with who she was, she found the courage to explore her photography career and asked her boss for a leave. 

He said no. And on that very same day her 6 year old son Fynn perished in a freak accident. She never returned to work and from that moment on her life would never be the same.

Meg’s journey through and beyond grief is truly inspiring. Listen, lean in and join Meg as she describes what it was like to find meaning, purpose and JOY again!
