In this deeply personal and reflective episode, Andy and Sarah open up about navigating grief, the loss of loved ones, and how these experiences shape our coaching practices and personal growth. Andy shares the raw emotions following the sudden passing of a close friend, building on the already heavy weight of losing both parents in recent years. Together, they explore the concept of "keeping death near" a profound reminder of our mortality that invites us to live with greater purpose, intentionality, and connection.
This conversation weaves in themes of spirituality, emotional expression, male vulnerability, relationship reflection, and the tools that coaching and positive psychology offer us in times of profound loss. It’s a powerful, compassionate, and honest look at how we process pain—and how we keep showing up.
