After more than a year of silence, Megan Bruneau returns with the Failure Factor to share a deeply personal episode about navigating one of the most challenging years of her life. In this raw and insightful conversation, Megan shares her journey through profound grief, major life transitions, and the lessons she discovered along the way. 

In this episode, she opens up about how the sudden loss of her mother transformed her understanding of grief, both as a therapist and as a daughter, and how emotional avoidance only compounds our suffering.

Episode highlights:

  • Why compassion likely isn't what you think
  • How understanding the evolutionary purpose of emotions changes everything
  • Tools for processing emotional discomfort
  • Megan's experience of death anxiety
  • The connection Megan felt with her mom before she died
  • A parable to returns to during times of struggle

 

Whether you're navigating grief, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck, this one’s for you. Megan's story provides compassionate guidance, actionable wisdom, and the reassurance that you're not alone.
