In this week's episode, I joined up with my friend and slightly terrible poker player Louis Salem. Louis and I spoke about the podcast on a drunken night out once, and from that moment I knew it would be a great episode.
Louis lost his dad when he was 12 years old. He takes us back to the moment he found out, the conversation he heard. And how the passing didn't feel real.
Louis had to navigate his school years without Dad at his side and explains how "playing Sunday league football" without dad cheering on was some of the hardest of moments.
Despite the inevitable grief, Louis has developed a sense of 'resilience" and it's the trauma that he faced that drives him to succeed.
Living with loss is all about breaking down those barriers and having a conversation that we sometimes choose to run away from. But ultimately loss doesn't always need to be a point of sadness, it can be a time to remember and a time to share, and I'm grateful that I can share this platform with so many amazing people.
Thanks, Louis for joining me on this episode!
