Laverne McKinnon | This Is Grief Too

Laverne McKinnon is a Grief Coach, Career Strategist, and TEDx Speaker helping purpose-driven professionals navigate professional loss, career grief, and what’s next.

Losing a job, leaving a career you loved, watching an opportunity fall through, or realizing that the path you’re on no longer fits can be a form of grief. But career advice often jumps straight to what’s next without making space for what was lost.

This Is Grief Too explores the human side of professional loss: identity, confidence, meaning, transitions, rebuilding, and finding your footing again. Here you’ll find practical guidance, honest conversations, reflections, and tools to help you understand what happened and move forward with intention.

Subscribe to This Is Grief Too for weekly writing, practical tools, and conversations about professional loss, career grief, and what’s next.
