Episode 61: Navigating Grief with Ashley Habib

I wish I had a tidy bio to neatly wrap up and tie with a bow. But right now, life is messy. I am navigating grief, solo parenting a 7-year-old, and reinventing my multi-hyphenate career after losing my husband in June 2021. Professionally, I have over a decade of experience working with women as a yoga teacher, doula, lactation counselor, breastfeeding educator, and mentor. I have love writing since I could hold a pen, but grief has pushed me to explore my writing practice both as an outlet and as a serious creative pursuit. Experiencing such tremendous loss this young has taught me that I can no longer limit myself. Every morning I ask two guiding questions: “How can I be of service?” and “What can I create?”. My hope is that my current projects (TBA!) will answer both.  Today, Daniella talks with Ashley Habib about loss. Ashley will dive into what has helped her through losing her husband (6:00).
