What if the very grief that breaks you could also be the path to your deepest joy?
In this moving conversation, Alex and her friend, Eric Farewell, discuss how loss, trauma, and even physical pain can become doorways to healing and alignment. Eric shares his journey from building high-performing companies to breaking his back, losing his brother, and eventually discovering somatic practices that changed everything.
Together, they talk about the overlooked impact of childbirth on men, how grief and bliss are two sides of the same coin, why honoring biological cycles transforms how you work, and how business is always a mirror for who you are being.
You’ll hear Alex and Eric explore:
-The surprising link between grief and bliss
-The hidden impact on men during childbirth and miscarriage
-How nervous system healing and bodywork opened Eric to a whole new path of somatic coaching
-Letting go of proving energy in sales
-Why aligning with your natural cycles leads to more energy, presence, and profit
-How your relationships and inner life are a mirror for your business — and why healing comes first
