You Can't Optimize Your Way Out of Grief with Phil Cohen Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

Phil Cohen, The Grief Guy, is a TEDx speaker and grief coach helping high performers rebuild identity, leadership, and purpose after devastating loss without pretending they're fine.

3. Healing isn't about letting go of the person you lost. It's about relocating your love and learning to carry it as you rebuild your life.
