My Empowered Grief Journey
“Everything that was supposed to go right went wrong.
Everything that went wrong became a blessing.”
For years I struggled to make sense of it all. I struggled to understand the relentless barrage of judgement, blame, comparison. Always feeling like I was never good enough or always behind. My internal dialogue was programmed to believe everything was always my fault. I lost my confidence and sense of identity. I struggled with mental health, ADHD, BPD, depression & anxiety. This was just the beginning of a long road of grief, loss, and trauma.
Taking A Leap of Faith
In 2018, I reached my breaking point with life. Everywhere I turned led me to more unhappiness until the day I randomly hired a Tony Robbins Results Coach. It scared me spending so much money in the spur of the moment, but what I didn’t know at the time was that this was the turning point to shed what was holding me back from creating the life I desired.
The Tide Began To Change
Just over a year later things began to change for me. Coaching became the transformative experience I needed to move forward by regaining my confidence and commit to exploring my self-acceptance journey.
I began to find financial success in my mortgage career, bought my first house in the woods of New Hampshire, and finally found people who were supportive of me.
It began to feel like I was breaking free of the curse that was holding me back from living my life.
My Grandpa Passed Away
As quickly as everything started to get better, everything suddenly went back to a struggle. It was like taking one step forward and five steps back.
In 2020, after a years long battle with terminal cancer, my grandfather passed away. I had flown home to visit him and within two days, I was holding him as he took his final breath. It was soul crushing to experience to lose the man I called a father and grandpa. The one who was the rock in my life.
Once again, I faced with the reality that life was changing and was never going to be the same again.
Hard Times Continued…
I struggled after losing my grandfather. I lost family I was close to over things that weren’t my fault. I struggled to be present with work and life. I went through job changes multiple times in 2021 and was unemployed for months.
I eventually got hired to be a manager of mortgages at a local bank, but again became the victim of a toxic work environment filled with constant judgement and bullying from coworkers and other managers. I was eventually fired for standing up for myself against the abuse.
The Struggle Was Relentless…
In 2022, My wife and I got pregnant with our first child after struggling with infertility. It was a miracle for us and one that we were looking forward to ever so much. What was supposed to be a joyful and happy time of life quickly became one of the most toxic situations in life that ended in us losing our child. We experienced emotional and verbal abuse from narcissistic family. The bullying continued even after we lost our son Caden. I was in disbelief that this experienced unfolded the way it did.
Dark Night of The Soul.
Just when you think life couldn’t get any worse, our son’s heart stopped beating the day before he was supposed to be born and we lost our child. Words cannot describe how defeating and soul crushing this day was to me and my wife. It was a day that forever changed our world and our lives. Such a beautiful moment in the middle of life chaos, taken from us in the blink of an eye.
A Numbing Pause In The Chaos
I was at a stop light leaving the hospital when I decided that again life wasn’t working for me. Something had to change and this time it had to be drastic change. It meant reflecting on who was in my life, what I would allow and tolerate, what I wanted going forward, how I was going to find purpose. I felt like my world had burned to the ground. There was nothing left other than my wife and I to figure out what the next step would be.
Finding Meaning & Purpose
After fighting a long period of depression, financial hardship, grieving the lost of our son Caden, I was compelled to work in the grief and loss space. It’s an area of life that is very misunderstood and is always referred to as something that happens to us but we have to let go and move on with our life.
The Empowered Grief Journey
In 2025, The Empowered Grief Journey was born. A coaching and podcast platform designed to help people heal from grief, loss, and trauma to discover the hidden gifts, lessons, and blessings in their grief journey to create a new inspiring future.
I started sharing my story as a guest on different podcasts, and coached people across the world from the US to Australia and Europe. I recorded over 120 episodes on my podcast and wrote my first anthology book with 22 other empowered grievers.
My Passion
I help individuals move from a place of pain into a place of hope and empowerment through their grief story. I support those navigating grief, loss, and trauma to rediscover their self-acceptance and step into their personal power so they can create an inspiring future grounded in healing, truth, and purpose.
Forever Grateful With Love
"My son Caden gave me the greatest gift he led me to my purpose. Through the depth of my grief, he guided me onto this path of service, where I now help others find meaning, healing, and power in their own losses. Because of him, I turned pain into purpose, and I’m forever grateful. I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without his
presence in my story." - Chris Mamone
