Overcoming The Loss of a Parent | Navigating Grief with Actress & Author Elisa Donovan (Revisited)

In this episode, Meghan takes a deep dive with actress and author Elisa Donovan, known for notable roles in Clueless, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch into the traumatic and profound experiences that inspired Elisa's book, including the experiences of learning of her Dad's cancer diagnosis, breaking up with her boyfriend, and losing her job — all in the span of a day. Elisa speaks on how these experiences have made her who she is. Elisa recalls how it felt learning about her Dad's cancer diagnosis, "I am a successful human being. I’m an adult. Why am I so broken by this?" Meghan and Elisa agree that everything happens for a reason. By sharing the challenges she went through during such a turbulent time in her life. Elisa hopes to inspire and guide those who are also struggling with grief and loss. Make sure to check out Elisa’s book Wake Me When You Leave: Love and Encouragement via Dreams from the Other Side!
