Welcome to Transformation Talk. Every Thursday for a year, starting in September 2012, I’ll post an interview with someone who is a force for good in the world. These men and women have either deepened their passion or found their calling after experiencing a loss, trauma or diagnosis.

I want to broaden the conversation around grief and its transformative power. My hope is that in their words you’ll find echoes of your story. In their inspired actions, you’ll see yourself and your immense possibility.

*Special Request: The technology of Skype is amazing and imperfect. Please listen with your heart and forgive the occasional blips on the screen.

If you click on Transformation Talk under Categories in the right-hand sidebar, all the talks to date will magically appear on the page. I’ve done my best to keep them all under 30 minutes (most run about 20 mins) because I know how hard it can be to stop and sit when life feels full.

I hope you find these women and men as inspiring as I do.

with love,
Alana
