In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Collins, grief educator, mindfulness teacher, and author of Surviving Spouse or Partner Suicide Loss and Supporting a Survivor of Spouse or Partner Suicide Loss.
After losing her husband to suicide, Michelle faced the unimaginable — and slowly rebuilt her life using mindfulness, holistic wellness, and self-compassion. Today, she helps others move from surviving to thriving, showing that post-traumatic growth is not only possible but transformative.
We talk about:
• What grief really looks like and how to honor it
• Why mindful awareness can turn pain into purpose
• How to support others experiencing suicide loss
• Finding joy and meaning again after deep trauma
This conversation is for anyone navigating loss, burnout, or change. Michelle’s story reminds us that healing is not about moving on — it’s about moving forward with awareness, courage, and grace.
