Life’s interruptions happen without notice. It is how you respond and transform the unexpected into meaning and purpose that transforms a traumatizing event in life into direction. Amanda Baeur-Frisch experienced the loss of her 32-year-old husband when she was pregnant, working with a 2-year-old son.

How did she respond? We talk about the process she went through to move from the shock of becoming a widow to a purpose and service-driven entrepreneur in this episode of the Inspirational Insights podcast.

Sometimes the process of recovery is intentional; other times it is more like a pilgrimage. Amanda’s journey took the latter path. Making sense of the loss of what might have been, to a beneficial contribution is accomplished by directing emotions toward a positive purpose.

The level of vulnerability Amanda went to in our conversation is the superpower everyone needs when facing a world on a trajectory blurred by polarization and rigid thinking that forgets we live on one planet.
