Author Courtney Deane

In this episode I got to talk to Author Courtney Deane about her new book, "When Happily Ever After Fails."

Courtney's father died when she was just 14, and her mother when she was just 28. In order to process her grief and make sense of her feelings about her own identity as a now parentless person, Courtney wrote a romantic comedy novel about a young woman going through similar difficult challenges.

We talk about how important it is to create our own narrative of our trauma, and how finding ways to honor our own journeys.

We also talk about how keeping our sense of humor and allowing ourselves to be a little silly sometimes goes a long way.
