Summary

What happens when grief meets nature, community, and the healing rhythm of the water? Join me on Carried Forward as I sit down with Stacy Thigpen—widower, owner of PaddleTX, and founder of Paddle Thru Grief. Stacy shares his personal journey through loss and how paddling became an unexpected source of healing, purpose, and connection. Together, we explore the power of being outdoors, the importance of community in grief, and how creating space for others to heal has become part of Stacy's own continued journey. This conversation is a reminder that while grief changes us, we do not have to walk—or paddle—through it alone. If you are grieving, supporting someone who is grieving, or simply looking for a story of hope and resilience, this episode is for you.
