About Our Guest:

Chris Mamone is a grief and resilience coach, speaker, podcaster, and founder of The Empowered Grief Journey.

After the loss of his son, Caden, Chris experienced firsthand the disorientation, silence, and identity shift that profound grief can bring.

Rather than collapse under it, he chose to build a structured path forward rooted in courage, meaning, and steady growth.

Through his signature C.A.D.E.N. Framework — Courage, Acceptance, Discovery, Empowerment, and New Beginnings — Chris guides individuals navigating loss from silent suffering to grounded strength, clarity, and renewed direction.

His approach blends trauma-informed practice, practical tools, and nature-based wisdom to create a safe, judgment-free space where grief is honored, not rushed.

Chris works with those who carry grief quietly — high-functioning professionals, parents, and individuals who appear strong on the outside while navigating deep emotional weight internally.

His work is rooted in the belief that grief does not mean you are broken — it means you are human — and that strength and vulnerability can coexist.

He is the host of The Empowered Grief Journey Podcast and the author of the Empowered Grief Journey Anthology, amplifying stories of resilience and redefining what strength can look like after profound loss.
