Beata is passionate about inspiring others to find ways to live authentically with freedom and empowerment in life. She is a dear friend of mine, and I’m thrilled to have her on the show today. Join us! I’m sure you will find this conversation very moving and valuable.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Beata, at age 45, is childless, not by choice, but through the unexpected tragedy and shock of her son’s stillbirth four years ago.
- How stillbirth, and death/loss in general, are topics that people find difficult to address.
- How a life-changing event, like Beata’s loss, brings up personal feelings of guilt and challenges your basic belief system.
- Beata feels a soul-connection to her son, that assures her that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new cycle.
- Small rituals each day that helped Beata grieve and heal from the loss of her son.
- How the support of friends, who allowed her space for her healing, helped her get through the painful loss and how she, in turn, can help others in grief.
