Lissa Boles-Life After Loss

Lissa Boles created The Soul Map™ in partnership with Randy, her beloved husband, soul mate and best friend. Their relationship, filled with an incredible amount of love, playfulness and compassion, illuminated what's possible in romantic life and business partnership. In 2014, they discovered Randy had a rapidly metastasizing form of terminal cancer and after only a few short months, he was gone. This interview explores the unfolding experience of grief, loss and the nature of desire. What do we live for when we have what we always wanted and it is taken away? The truth is all of us must face our own deaths and the deaths of those we hold the most dear. However, in our society, this subject is taboo. We just don't know how to approach death, how to talk about it or how to best support each other when we are grieving. Yet, remarkably, in approaching grief and fully living the grieving process, we may find an otherwise unfathomable richness and depth to life and to our work. In this, we may discover pain is not what we think it is, uncovering the gifts of the darkest night of the soul. ​ Despite immeasurable loss, Lissa's guiding light burns brightly in turbulent times, pointing us inward towards our reserves of strength, courage, and capacity to TRUST while rising solidly to the challenges we face personally and collectively. ​ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS​ Our deepest trials call us into the truth of what our life is about Finding desire after great loss Desire is mixed with shadow Loss can lead us to knowing everything happens for a reason Grief requires presence and is like active meditation Going through difficulty prepares us to lead in difficult times Partnering with grief can free you in unimaginable ways The time of entrusting the truth to others is passing If we turn away from a difficult period or emotion, we can't be sovereign, lead, create or know our purpose fully The gifts of the dark night of the soul including discernment and a stronger voice Pain is not what we think it is MENTIONED IN THE SHOW Power vs Force The Translucent Revolution Life in Full Color ABOUT LISSA BOLES Hailing from Ontario, Canada, Lissa Boles is CEO of The Soul Map™, a boutique entrepreneurial coaching & consulting firm providing an unparalleled astrological approach to niching, platform creation, business building and success achievement – one based on the untouchable uniqueness of the owner’s life purpose and the trailblazing thought leadership that’s theirs & theirs alone.
