In Episode 9 of the Together at Peace podcast, we were honored to be joined by Emily Sharratt. She discusses her heartfelt exploration of grief, resilience, and transformation with us. Emily recounts her profound journey through loss—from the long battle with cancer of her beloved mother, Jane, which upended her life and career plans at a young age, to the deep bonds formed with her neighbor and close collaborator, Mich. As she transitioned from a dedicated social worker conducting thousands of suicide assessments to a corporate wellness coach and entrepreneur, Emily learned to channel grief into purposeful action. Throughout the conversation, she highlights the enduring legacies of her loved ones through symbolic reminders like Monarch butterflies, gems, and cherished mementos, emphasizing that grief is love with nowhere to go. Her story is a testament to how embracing vulnerability and transforming pain into hope and service can heal personal wounds and empower others to build resilience in the face of life's challenges.
