When Purpose Becomes Helping Others Find Theirs with Cindy Burns
05/14/24 • 40 min
Grief sucks; we can all agree on that. Yet, what is the best way to move from it, moving on or moving forward?
In this episode, I'm joined by the Life Purpose and Happiness Coach and Grief Doula, Cindy Burns. The death of her husband after battling lung cancer for five months brought a double dose of grief into her life: Her kids were grown-ups and had their own lives; they didn't "need her" anymore. Suddenly, her purpose for many years, being a wife and a mother, made no sense—she was alone, and her nest was empty.
Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Cindy's reinvention, struggles, challenges, and victories in reclaiming and reconnecting with her purpose and generous perspective on life. Cindy also talks about how journaling saved her, thinking of happiness as a choice, her passion for helping others find their purpose, the difference between moving on and moving forward, and much more.
Tune in and listen to episode 232 of Grief and Happiness and learn how to go through grief by moving forward and choosing to be happy.
