After losing his 15-year-old daughter to suicide, Eric Hodgdon found himself screaming, “Oh my god, Zoi, I’m so sorry. I cannot believe that I did not help you in some way.” Suddenly, it felt as if Zoi was sitting next to him. She said, “Dad, cut it out. I’m okay.” He froze, said, “Oh, my god. She’s right. She is okay now.”

You would never know that Eric has walked through a massive, devastating life experience – or that it was this trauma that set him on a path to where he is and what he does today. He has a joy for life, and a very kind and loving spirit. As a coach, author, and speaker, Eric has trained thousands of people to navigate the worst setbacks that can happen to us all.

In today’s episode, Eric shares his journey of grief and how he found a way to get back up after losing his daughter Zoi, what he learned from this traumatic experience, and how he teaches others that no one needs to walk alone.
