In this episode of Life's Checkmark, I talk with Dave Roberts, a dedicated educator, therapist, and podcaster whose life changed forever after the loss of his daughter. Dave shares how his own journey of grief and healing led him to help others with trauma, addiction, and bereavement, both in and out of the classroom. We discuss practical strategies to support people through loss, the power of community, the impact of simply listening, and the importance of being yourself during tough times.

Tune in for authentic conversation, practical advice, and inspiration to keep moving forward no matter what life brings.
