Before we begin, a gentle note for listeners:This episode includes discussion of grief, loss, trauma, and sudden life-changing events. Please take care of yourself as you listen. You are always welcome to pause, come back later, or skip this episode entirely. Your well-being comes first.Today on The Resilience Movement, Donna Moulds is joined by Sheri Lux - speaker, author, creative entrepreneur, and advocate whose work sits at the intersection of grief, resilience, leadership, and healing.Following the sudden loss of her husband, Sheri’s life changed forever. In the midst of profound grief, she made a courageous decision: to keep choosing life, even when everything she knew had fallen away.This conversation is not about fixing grief or rushing healing. It is about presence. It is about courage. And it is about learning how resilience is built quietly, imperfectly, and one day at a time.Together, Donna and Sheri explore:What “choosing to live” actually looks like in the early days after devastating lossHow grief reshapes identity and what can emerge when old versions fall awayWhy trauma continues to live in families, particularly within first-responder communitiesThe role creativity plays in regulation, healing, and rebuilding meaningLeading, serving, and advocating from lived experience rather than theoryWhat it truly means to “find your fire” after everything has changedSheri also reflects on her book Finding My Fire, written as an invitation for readers to walk alongside her journey rather than observe it from a distance.If you are navigating grief, loss, or a life you didn’t choose this episode offers gentle truth, grounded wisdom, and permission to move at your own pace.As always, thank you for listening to The Resilience Movement.
