In this deeply moving and beautifully honest conversation, I sit down with Lisa Corduff – podcaster, storyteller, entrepreneur, and solo mum to three extraordinary kids – to explore what it means to carry grief, raise children through loss, and still choose joy. Lisa's husband Nick died in September 2019 while travelling in India and Lisa’s challenge was to keep showing up, to stay open to find joy even inside profound grief. We talk about the gifts that grief can give, the messy reality of solo parenting, what it means to let yourself fall apart so you can come back together differently, and the extraordinary five-month adventure Lisa took her kids on when she realised she needed to stop pretending she was okay. We explore: What Lisa's children taught her about joy and grief coexisting The \"good vibes only\" trap – and why grief has to be felt to move through Keeping Nick present in positive and loving ways as the kids grow Becoming the \"fun parent\" and straddling joy and boundaries solo What it really means to live fully in the face of death Crafting the story your children carry: the power of the imprints we give in our darkest moments What struck me most in sitting with Lisa was her willingness to hold all of it at once. The sadness and the adventure. The grief and the laughter. The very worst thing and the extraordinary life she has built in its shadow.
