074. Husband Loss, Motherhood, and Rediscovering Love After Death with Whitney Lyn Allen

Today’s guest is such a force of nature and an inspirational voice in the grief space—I’m truly so excited to share this episode with you all today because if you know her content even just from social media or in her books, you know how vulnerable and honest she is which we always need more of when we’re coping with grief.

Whitney Lyn Allen is first and foremost mama to her sons, Jackson (6) and Leo (2). She practiced law as a medical malpractice defense attorney for ten years before her husband had a severe reaction to a bee sting and sustained a severe brain injury, subsequently resulting in his death.

Whitney decided to turn her pain into purpose and followed her new calling to serve others who are also experiencing grief and trauma and share her vulnerable and personal grief journey with others.

She is the author of “Running in Trauma Stilettos,” which is an Amazon Best Seller, and also just released another book called “what must be carried”.

Whitney is also a certified grief educator and provides grief coaching to those who are ready for their own transformation and growth after loss. She shares the empowering message that there is so much beauty in life, even after losing a loved one.

This is an ideology that I am just so aligned with and speaks to everything I do at losses become gains and here on the podcast, and I’m truly so honored to share Whitney’s story and uplifting perspective with you here.
