August 5, 2026 marks one year that I lost my Father. All of the feels are hitting me. I'm part of the club of people that has lost a parent. I worried about my Mom, my family, even myself. It's a scary feeling because it's new, and I'm reminded that time waits for no one.
With all of that...work still rolls in and on. I will say that I ducked behind my work. Not because I was running away, but because I had started two important positions the same day my Father passed away. So...dealing with the grief wasn't continuous. It came here and there, but there was always a deadline I needed to clear, goals I wanted to continue progressing with, a media company that needed operations, and other work related things that kept me...working.
In this episode, I share three points on how I would recommend dealing with grief while working. A LOT of people feel like life goes on, but does it really when you're grieving? We have to be honest with ourselves when it comes to dealing with this unfortunate feeling, and this is partly me...dealing.
Rest in Peace Griffin Young. I love you and miss you...a lot. Power.
Enjoy the show and thank you.

This morning, I received a call from a job I applied for. The voicemail started off with ‘hey Curtis…’ and the message commence to give details about ‘Curtis’ getting the position vs. me.
Talk about feeling like I wasn’t worth enough to get the job and also feeling like ‘sheesh…how do you call the wrong candidate and leave a message about the other candidate getting the position’.
Yeah. More on that AND other positions I didn’t get in the episode. Gotta keep it pushing and stay positive, right? Enjoy.
