14. Hope After Tragedy with Kellie Haddock, Singer & Songwriter

Kellie Haddock is a singer, songwriter, wife and mom with an amazing story of resiliency and joy. Her music draws from real life stories of beauty, heartache, hope and the celebration of life. She was also part of The Thank You Project, a short film featuring Kellie and her son’s story of gratitude after tragedy. It has attracted more than 150 million views and has been featured on The TODAY Show, The Huffington Post, and Cosmopolitan among other national and international media outlets.

Kellie says that people often tell her that she’s experienced more grief than any one person deserves, but she has her own spin on that. She says that she has experienced more healing than she deserves and feels blessed to be alive. Kellie has 17 years of experience fighting for joy and hope after a tragic car accident left her widowed. She eventually found love again and went on to expand her family, all while sharing her story and wisdom on social media and through her music. 

In today’s episode, Kellie shares some of the greatest lessons that she’s learned and how she’s managed to stay present and rely on her community in the midst of intense tragedy and suffering. We also discuss important aspects of her healing path and how her music has helped with that process.
