how to keep going in business when you're grieving
<p></p><p><p>Just walk imperfectly forward. You'll figure it out at some point.</p></p><p>Welcome to the Whispers of Inner Power Interview Series!</p><p>Honest conversations with women reshaping the way we think about business & sensitivity.</p><p>Today I’m joined by Ruth Cooper-Dickson — creator of Thrivership Coaching™, award-winning positive psychology practitioner, trauma-informed coach, breathwork leader, broadcaster, and author-in-progress of a book on post-traumatic growth.</p><p>I’ve been wanting to have this conversation for a while. Ruth and I had been circling each other online and when I read her latest Substack post on grief, I knew the time was right — and I asked her if she’d be willing to orient our conversation around that topic instead of what we’d originally planned. She said yes without hesitation. What followed was one of the most honest, tender conversations I’ve had on this series.</p><p>In this conversation we talked about:</p><p>* Why grief isn’t something to be healed and “done with” — and the misconception that keeps so many of us stuck</p><p>* What unprocessed grief actually looks like from the outside (hint: it often looks like working harder, controlling more, never being able to rest)</p><p>* The moment Ruth experienced her own very public unravelling — and what it took to rebuild from the ashes</p><p>* Why the 6-12 month mark is often the hardest — when everyone else has moved on and you’re still in it</p><p>* The little-known concept of the Death Cafe, and why Ruth leaves them feeling more alive than ever</p><p>* What breathwork can do for grief that talking sometimes can’t</p><p>* The “bare minimum” framework for staying afloat in your business when falling apart isn’t an option</p><p>* Why the fact that you haven’t unpacked something doesn’t mean it isn’t already influencing you</p><p></p><p><p>My dad died 41 years ago this year and I think about my dad every day. When I see a magpie I think my dad.</p></p><p>What I loved most about this conversation is a moment near the end where I told Ruth that after my dad died, I spent two weeks on the floor. </p><p>Meditation in my ears, talking to my dad and angels, three to four hours a day, my kids watching TV and me just... there. </p><p>And then work picked me up. </p><p>I've never said that out loud like that before, and I don’t think I had realised up to that point the role that my business had in my recovery — I’m not sure it’s the right word but I can’t find a more fitting one. I think I carried a bit of shame around it, that I hadn’t done “grief” properly. As if going headfirst into such a big life project was wrong and I should have just let myself feel it all rather than trying to control my life. </p><p>But Ruth didn’t judge me. She smiled and said: I love that. If it's healthy and it works, don't question it. And just like that, it reframed this shame of not doing things right into what it actually was: Resilience. Surviving. Living.</p><p>Finally, if you’re going through grief, I want to tell you that although it’s a very personal and tender path, you are not alone. Don’t ever hesitate to reach out when you need a listening ear or a compassionate moment, even in silence. </p><p>Sending you love.</p><p>Jessica</p><p>About Ruth Cooper-Dickson</p><p><strong>Ruth Cooper-Dickson</strong> is the creator of Thrivership Coaching™, a trademarked approach rooted in positive psychology that supports people through adversity, grief, anxiety and burnout. </p><p>She is an award-winning positive psychology practitioner, trauma-informed coach, breathwork leader, and broadcaster on mental health. Her published research sits at the intersection of evidence and applied practice, and she is currently writing a book on post-traumatic growth.</p><p>Here are links for keeping up with Ruth, and also a free to access training on grief:</p><p>* Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/ruthcooperdickson/">https://www.instagram.com/ruthcooperdickson/</a></p><p>* LinkedIn: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthiecoops/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruthiecoops/</a></p><p>* Coffee with Coops Substack + Espresso with Coops Podcast: </p><p>* Good Morning Chelmsford: Every Friday | 7:30am–10am (UK)</p><p>Chelmsford Community Radio: https://www.chelmsfordcommunityradio.com/</p><p>Listen live online, via your radio app, or through your smart speaker by saying: “Play Chelmsford Community Radio.”</p><p>* Training: <a target="_blank" href="https://ruthcooperdickson.lpages.co/registration-free-training-beyond-the-grief/">https://ruthcooperdickson.lpages.co/registration-free-training-beyond-the-grief/</a></p><p>Loved this conversation?</p><p>If you loved this conversation, let me know by giving it a heart and a comment!

I hope you get so successful you get the hate I've had
<p></p><p><strong>How you're interpreted is not your job.</strong></p><p>Welcome to the Whispers of Inner Power Interview Series!</p><p>Honest conversations with women reshaping the way we think about business & sensitivity.</p><p>Today I’m joined by the Liz Wilcox, aka the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing. Liz is an email strategist, keynote speaker, and membership owner with over 4,000 members who has built three successful businesses, including one she grew while living in an RV with her toddler.</p><p>I first found Liz through her <a target="_blank" href="https://emailmarketingmembership.com/">EMM</a> membership, where I discovered her playful approach to email marketing, and I’d been dying to ask her about the side of her story that doesn’t usually come up: what’s it actually like, to be seen, judged, and misunderstood when you’re that successful.</p><p><strong>I hope you get so successful that you get the hate that I have, because that means you are seen by millions and millions of people.</strong></p><p>In this conversation we talked about:</p><p>* Why “no plan B” was actually a great motivator to building her first business from a stationary RV with a toddler and no internet on her phone</p><p>* The fact that she was completely mute until age seven, and how a piece of advice from her mom in seventh grade started her on the long road to finding her voice</p><p>* What it really teaches you about visibility to be on one of the most-watched shows in the world, edited into a character you didn’t choose, and getting death threats over it years later</p><p>* Her actual strategy for handling criticism (and sometimes turning that into bigger sales opportunities)</p><p>What I loved most about this conversation is the image Liz gave us near the end, to have shields in place rather than walls. Getting more visible and more successful will make you more prone to receive judgment, criticism and angry messages. Liz doesn’t tell you to grow a thicker skin and hide your sensitivity away. She doesn’t ignore or pretend that things don’t get to her, but she makes the conscious choice to clarify rather than justify.</p><p>As a highly sensitive person myself, I found it very empowering, and I’m sure you will too.</p><p><strong>I need to be like I’m rubber, you're glue, bounce off me, stick to you. Y'all remember that from the playground days?</strong></p><p>About Liz Wilcox</p><p>Liz Wilcox is an email strategist, keynote speaker, and membership owner with over 4,000 members. She's built three successful businesses, including a multiple six-figure membership that started as a $9 offer.</p><p>You can find her at <a target="_blank" href="http://Liz Wilcox is the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing — an email strategist, keynote speaker, and membership owner with over 4,000 members.
