This week, Roger shares an enlightening and heartfelt conversation with Kelly Daugherty, a licensed clinical social worker specializing in grief. The discussion begins with a startling statistic: one in 12 people will lose a parent or sibling by the age of 18. Kelly opens up about her personal experience of loss, having lost her mother as a teenager, which ultimately led her to discover her true calling. She also debunks common misconceptions about grief, including the widely-known, but sadly inaccurate, five stages of grief.

Kelly delves into the science of grief and offers valuable advice and tools for coping with different types of loss—whether from the death of a loved one, job loss, or divorce. She highlights the importance of support systems and long-term care during the grieving process. Additionally, Kelly discusses the intersection of mental health and entrepreneurship, offering tips on how to support grieving friends and family members. The episode also features Kelly's book, The Grief Experience: Tools for Acceptance, Resilience, and Connection, which serves as a valuable resource for anyone navigating the journey of grief. Tune in to learn how to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are grieving.
