14: Living Every Year Like It's the Last

How can we make sense of tragedy?

If I were to die next week, would I be able to look at myself on my deathbed, morbid as this sounds, and say that I had lived a life that was purposeful, and if so, what does that mean?


In this episode, I interview April Rinne, a public speaker, advisor, writer, and globetrotter. She advises, speaks, writes, and advocates for businesses and policies fit for the 21st-century change (adopting what she calls a "flux mindset"). April discusses the experience of losing both of her parents in a car accident when she was 20, and how, out of that tragedy, she set out to make better sense of the world (including a world in flux), and eventually, help make the world a better place.

Breathing Wind Podcast
Breathing Wind
Breathing Wind is a podcast about grief and loss and how we journey with these lifelong companions.
Naila Francis, grief coach, writer and former journalist and Sarah Davis, podcast consultant, speaker and writer, are cohosts. We offer warm, honest and insightful conversations for the introspective at heart.
Launched in 2019 as a personal grief project, the podcast struck a chord with listeners looking for a space to feel less alone in their grief. Quickly, a dedicated community grew around the candid and compelling conversations with others who knew grief just as intimately and those who offered guidance for navigating this universal human experience.
In its three seasons of publishing monthly episodes, Breathing Wind has become a trusted space to explore who we become and how we make meaning in the midst of our post-loss lives. It's also the place where joy, laughter, wonder and possibility co-exist alongside deep heartbreak.
