Amanda McKoy Flanagan: How Confronting Grief Transformed Her Life and Saved Her Marriage.

Native New Yorker, turned Coloradan, and author of “Trust yourself to be All in,” Amanda McCoy Flanagan opens up about how Grief from her brothers’ death saved her marriage, after almost ruining it. Amanda, who had been in talk therapy for years and maintained her sobriety, shares how a string of family deaths made her question a lot about her life, including her marriage. Five months after her brothers’ death she told her husband she didn’t love him anymore. The steps they both decided to take pushed them to finally face the grief they had both been avoiding. This courage led to their individual healing, and eventually, the restoration of their relationship. I think you’ll really connect with Amanda’s no-nonsense approach and heartfelt honesty as she explores the fear of truly facing our grief. She addresses worries like the belief that we might only ever know pain or that we might not spiral back up, if we do. Join us as we combine the North and the South, in a candid conversation about life, loss and coming out on the other side. Enjoy!
