The Journey of Grief with Jess Laughlin

Jess Laughlin is the founder and head “good vibes” gifter at xoLaughlinCo., where she’s helped hundreds of people overcome the fear and awkwardness of reaching out to people during heavy life moments. Her online shop features thoughtfully curated gifts, primarily sourced from small businesses and helps express just the right sentiment for loved ones who’ve experienced everything from miscarriage or loss of a family member, to struggles with mental health and everyday sh*t. Like many other women in 2020, Jess decided to start a business in her basement. After losing her dad to heart disease a few years prior, she experienced first-hand how a small but thoughtful gift could allow her to feel seen and understood. Her journey has been both lonely and awkward, and she believes we can all do better to support one another. Jess has been on a mission to normalize grief ever since, opening up about her own experiences and encouraging others to do the same.When she’s not ranting about grief, she’s wrangling her two kids and husband from their home in Clintonville, Ohio.In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.
