life's too shortShow Notes
On today's episode I speak with the the absolutley lovely Alex Lawson of CasaLawson.
She tells me about her lovely Dad who sadly passed away over 5 years ago. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, he faced a 7 month battle before passing away. We speak about the agony of watching a loved one dissapear before your eyes. How short life really is and that we shouldn't be putting our plans off, because the years aren't guarenteed. And she tells me about how her fiance "spoke" with her Dad before asking her to marry him.
This conversations shows the reality of grief and how grief not only changes us, but stays with us throughout our lives.
A very important conversation.
Thank you Alex x

More from life's too short
Christmas can intensify grief in ways you don’t expect. For many people, the festive season brings memories, longing, and a deep sense of absence - especially if you’re facing your first Christmas without someone you love.
This week’s episode is one I’ll carry with me for a long, long time.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Annabelle Reynolds for an incredibly honest conversation about complex grief - the kind of grief we don’t often talk about publicly. Annabelle shares the story of her father, a deeply kind and vibrant man whose life changed dramatically after the 2008 recession. Over the years, addiction, shame, and difficult family dynamics reshaped their relationship long before his death from esophageal cancer in 2019.
In this solo episode, I reflect on the idea of signs; the small, sometimes strange ways we feel our loved ones near after they’re gone.
In this week’s episode of Life’s Too Short, I speak with Morgan Cummins; an executive coach and recruiter who lost his dad suddenly more than 20 years ago. What began as an unimaginable shock became, over time, one of his greatest teachers.
