About this episode

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad. We have such an amazing episode today as author, producer, and former Ambassador to the Bahamas Nicole Avant joins us today to share the inspiration behind her book ‘Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude”. Nicole gives a raw and courageous look into how she found the light in her darkest moment after her mother was tragically murdered and reminds us that grief is different for everyone, and we have the power to move through it in our unique way. She reflects on the inevitability of death and how our response to its presence defines our own lives. Nicole's choice to respond with gratitude serves as a powerful reminder to cherish the time we have with loved ones and celebrate the impact they had on our lives.


Throughout the episode, Nicole inspires us to honor our lost loved ones by living fully and recognizing the preciousness of each day. Through her powerful insights and personal stories, she reminds us that life is both beautiful and tough and that our journey is defined by the impact we make on others. Trust me when I say this is a must-listen episode for any and everyone. 


Healers & Heal-Liners

  • You have to have the ability to respond to life
  • It’s very important during grief to feel it all and not sweep it under the rug
  • Choosing to be happy, begins with believing you will be happy
  • Our blessings are not to be hoarded
  • Your ministry is wherever you are
  • Grief is the receipt from the universe showing you that you loved someone or something and loved them very deeply
