What do you do when the worst day of your life becomes the beginning of your life's work?
In this powerful episode of Voices of Courage, we explore the courage it takes to face loss, heal, and turn pain into purpose. Every one of us will meet grief, whether through the death of someone we love, a divorce, a lost career, or a shattered dream. Yet most leaders, workplaces, and families have never been taught how to respond with compassion. That silence costs us dearly. It leaves people to suffer alone when they need to be seen, heard, and supported.
Healing is possible, and courage is what opens the door.
Host Ken D Foster is joined by Mindy Corporon, author of Grief Leadership, CEO, and nationally known expert in professional development in grief leadership. She is also the author of the memoir Healing a Shattered Soul, and her story is one of the most courageous you will ever hear.
In 2014, while serving as CEO of a wealth management company, Mindy lost her father and her oldest son in an infamous hate crime in Kansas City. She could have been defined by that tragedy. Instead, she turned her grief into action and dedicated herself to changing how leaders respond to grief. Her body of work earned her the WIN for KC/Lockton Companies Resiliency Award. Mindy is the Vice President of Strategic Development for Love Always, a platform building an online community of trusted, authentic providers who help people navigate mature life events. She co-founded the women-owned Workplace Healing Inc., where she created the Human Recovery Platform™, an empathy-based tool that gives leaders practical strategies to increase compassion and support employees through life's most difficult transitions. She is also co-founder of SevenDays®, a nonprofit focused on overcoming hate by promoting kindness and understanding through education and dialogue. A dedicated philanthropist and humanitarian, an inspirational speaker, and a sought-after podcast guest, she shares in her 2021 memoir her journey as a mother, daughter, wife, and colleague, to help readers rediscover hope and purpose in their own lives.
Mindy lived the loss, built the solutions, and now teaches others how to lead with compassion. That is why she is the right voice for this conversation.
