Episode 218: Decluttering Your Energy with Tanya Cole-Lesnick Artwork

Beyond the Loss: Life and Identity After a Child Dies

Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.

If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.

What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.

After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.

That space is now Beyond the Loss.

This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.

If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.

I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.

You are welcome.
