Grief isn’t a mountain you climb; it’s a house you learn to live in.

Host Beverley Glazer sits down with life and grief coach Marie Crews to discuss the unpolished reality of resilience after the unthinkable. From a childhood of poverty to the devastating loss of her son to suicide, Marie’s life is a masterclass in post-traumatic growth.

Inside the Episode:

• Clinical Journaling: Why writing is a neurological tool for emotional regulation and reframing trauma.
• Suicide Loss Support: How to navigate the specific silence of losing a child and transform pain into a new relationship.
• Breaking the Poverty Trap: The “next right steps” and hard boundaries required to escape cycles of addiction.
• Identity Reinvention: Practical shifts to move from “victim” to a purpose-driven life.
• Regulating the Nervous System: Using self-honesty to spot the mental patterns that cause burnout.

Whether you are navigating bereavement, mental health struggles, or a life transition that feels impossible, Marie Crews provides a roadmap built in the trenches.
