Finding Humor in Heartbreak: Cherie Sawaryn on Grief, Loss & Leading with Love

In this deeply human episode of Becoming Sound, host Krista sits down with Cherie Sawaryn, founder of BeeKind Hive and Cup of Tea Leadership, to explore the messy, meaningful intersections of grief, loss, and leading with vulnerability.

Cherie shares her personal experiences with family addiction, loss, and the journey of holding space for grief without needing to fix it. The conversation dives into how humor becomes a lifeline, how community care trumps rugged independence, and why authentic leadership requires a strong dose of self-compassion.
