Niamh Ennis : How grief changes you

Topics covered : Pancreatic cancer, grief, sympathy, therapy, good girl conditioning, life changes, intuition, journaling.

This week, business mentor and change coach Niamh Ennis is my guest.

She lives in Galway with her husband Michael and their rescue dog Bella.

She’s the author of 'Get Unstuck: Ditch Your Drama and Move from Pain to Power' but long before the work she does now, Niamh went through an incredibly difficult period in her life.

In her late 30s and early 40s, she experienced profound loss; her fiancé Tony died just nine days after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and only 6 months before they were due to be married. Not long after, she also lost her dad…and then, a number of years later, her Mum passed away.

In this conversation, Niamh shares what that time was like, how it changed her, and how it ultimately led her to completely rethink her life and her career.

We also talk about what it really means to feel stuck…and how to begin finding your way back to yourself , especially in midlife, when so many of us are questioning what we want and what comes next.
