Addison Brasil: Finding Resilience Through Grief

"Grief is not something you fix, it’s something you honour." - Addison Brasil

Our next guest, Addison Brasil, is no stranger to loss and has spent thirteen years in the Grief Club arena. He lost his brother to cancer, found his father after suicide, and survived a fatal accident that killed a dear friend and left him relearning to walk. And yet still when friends or family experienced loss he would freeze – not wanting to send flowers, empty condolences, or food when he knew the realities of grief are so much more.

Addision shares his story, taking us through three significant and uniquely different grief processes that he's had to navigate in his life. Through his story we learn how to build a grief resilient toolkit, and how through that process he encourages us to bravely discard what we don't need.

Grief is something that we all are experiencing, and Addison's gift to us all has been shared through a book (reference below) he wrote after 13 years of working through his macro grief experiences. Through this episode and via the book, it is very evident that Addison is in the grief arena with all of us. 

This is such a healing epside, so don't miss one minute of it.

About the Podcast

The Empowered in My Skin Podcast
A podcast designed to help humans everywhere think in ways that is empowering.
This Podcast is all about helping humans think in ways that is empowering. Empowered humans, empower humans and our goal at Empowered in My Skin is to help develop one billion humans who are lead dominos for empowerment. Regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, etc., everyone deserves to be empowered in the skin that they are in.

Empowered humans are thriving humans. It is our birthright to thrive. When we own our thrive, we are operating from a position of empowerment, and celebrating life in the present moment without fear. It is human nature to feel uncertain, but why does it have to take us away from our thrive, our creativity, and throw us off balance? 

If we can recognize that being empowered is us choosing to accept all that is, then we have the ability to step into clarity and live in the present moment. Our "now" is all that we have and where our infinite empowered energy resides.
