Grief & Happiness

09/26/23 • 40 min

"I've seen, especially with women, that we've forgotten how to dream like children; we dream like editors."

Today, the inspiring Bevin Farrand joins us again to teach us how to make our big, bold dreams come true, talk about her newest book and the other two she already has in the chamber, and share her unique perspective on experiencing grief and happiness simultaneously. Bevin is a sought-after keynote speaker, fellow podcaster, founder of the Take the DAMN Trip movement, and author who, despite unexpectedly losing her husband right when they were closer than ever, kept going and found a formula to grant herself the happiness she knew she deserved.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear Bevin's journey of grief, hope, faith in herself and her possibilities, happiness, and fulfillment. Bevin describes the DAMN framework and explains how she uses it as a filter for every decision in her life. She also talks about her latest book, "Your DAMN Manifest," why every griever should find a community with grief experts and people who went through the same experiences, and more.

Tune in and listen to episode 168 and learn how to forget about the HOWs, WHATs, and WHENs, focus on your WHYs, and just do the DAMN thing you always wanted to do.
