13. Grief, Growth and Finding Yourself Again with Alex Faggetter

Grief has a way of changing everything. It reshapes your priorities, your relationships, the way you parent, and even the person you become. For Alex Faggetter, losing her sister Georgia just months after a cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for a profound transformation, changing not only how she viewed life, but how she chose to live it. Now, Alex is a mum of two, the founder of You By Alex and a wellbeing advocate, who now helps women reconnect with themselves through every stage of life. In this episode she shares: -       How losing her sister changed the way she sees life, motherhood and grief. -       Why years of people pleasing left her feeling empty and what helped her finally break the cycle. -       The surprising moment she realised she had finally become the version of herself she'd been searching for. -       Why simplifying her life transformed her mental wellbeing. -       How grief inspired her to create You By Alex in honour of her sister. -       Why spending time alone became one of the most powerful parts of her healing. -       Her perspective on raising children through loss while allowing them to experience difficult emotions. -       Why she believes saying yes to opportunities and giving everything a go leads to a richer life. **Key Quotes** "Be angry, be sad.
