Without Losing Your Cool with Shantelle Bisson

What do you do when life as you know it stops dead in its tracks, and everything around you comes crumbling down?

This is what happened to this week’s guest, Margo Sage, when her husband went into anaphylactic shock and subsequently cardiac arrest when their new baby was just a few months old.

In this heartfelt conversation, Margo opens up about the choices she made when her back was against the wall and the unimaginable loss she experienced when her husband, Bain, passed away.

We delve into the aftermath of his death and how Margo found solace in mindfulness, allowing her to connect with Bain in a different way. As a single parent, she shares how she navigated the challenges of raising her son amidst grief and loss, ultimately rediscovering her spark and opening herself up to the possibility of finding love again. We explore the complexities of blending families and the importance of having a will in place.

Discover how Margo found inner peace and spiritual alignment as she chose to start over, finding healing and guiding others through similar experiences. With her tips and insights, you'll gain valuable tools to navigate stress and anxiety in our ever-changing world.
