Living Your Legacy · How Grief Became a Mission to Inspire Through Art · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

Gave me a lot of purpose.

I had to start running that business the day he died.

And I took over and I didn't know anything about it.

and that's no that is no small task no right like jumping in to the driver's seat of a car that you might not be it's like jumping into a car that's stick shift and you never learned how to drive right that's what it felt like that's exactly what it felt like it was like what how am i going to do this but it was literally one day at a time one step at a time i tell people i opened the mail one piece at a time and just because there was a lot coming in there was mail there's emails there's phone calls there was

That, you know, you got to do this and that.

And I just thought I have to take this one thing at a time.

So I'm going to open the one piece of mail and I'm going to do whatever task needs to be done with that piece of mail and just take that step forward one at a time.

And that's what I did.

And so it's about finding purpose.

Yeah.

And when you find that purpose, when you find that joy, that spark, whatever it is that can get you to the next day or the next step, you can get through grief.

There is another side of it.

Grief never goes away, but it does get easier.

Find the passion.

Wow.

I actually was a graphic designer my entire career.

And I started painting when I had foot surgery like a decade ago.

And so I had the surgery and I'm like, I can't sit around for six weeks doing nothing.

So I decided to learn how to paint.

My mom's an artist.
