74. Red Bird: Honoring her Mother’s Legacy, with Diandra Ford-Wing

About the episode:

Just a heads up: today's episode discusses mother-loss. If that's activating or upsetting, please take care of yourself. David Kessler has great resources for mother-loss grief at mothersdaygrief.com

In today's episode, I chat with Diandra Ford-Wing, a dynamic and innovative Sales Director whose profound journey through grief ignited her passion for storytelling. After the sudden loss of her mother, Diandra made the courageous decision to pause her thriving career, allowing herself the space to heal and reflect. This transformative experience ultimately inspired her debut novel, "Red Bird," a heartfelt exploration of loss and resilience. 

Diandra and I chat about:

  • How we all express and experience grief differently

  • Using writing as a tool for processing grief

  • Signs from our loved ones

  • Honoring our loved ones’ legacies

  • And more!
