life's too short

Show Notes

On today's episode I speak with the incredible Meghann Scully, presenter, producer and author.

Meghann tells me about the loss of both her brother, when she was only a teenager, and her father, only a year and a half later. The grief from these losses has made a massive impact on her and her life over the past 20 years, shaping who she is now.

It's a very powerful listen.

Meghann has written two books within the themes of grief, loss and mental health. Broken Love and Little Pocket of Love.
