Grief doesn’t have to end a story—it can give it new direction.In this episode, I sit down with my aunt, author and Life Skills Ambassador Jill Siegal Chalsty, whose new memoir Packets of Hope: A Journey of Healing and Rediscovery follows her journey aboard the Queen Anne on its maiden world voyage. What began as a search for healing after loss became a mission to share life skills education with teachers and students around the world.From the spiritual resilience of Tonga to the harsh beauty of Namibia, Jill’s “Packets of Hope” carried tools for communication, goal setting, and conflict resolution—life skills she believes are essential for students, and for nurturing safer, more compassionate communities. Along the way came wrong turns, quiet acts of kindness, and unexpected breakthroughs.Jill opens up about the moments that shaped her journey, and how journaling became a lifeline. Her story is a testament to the power of purpose born from struggle, and a reminder that small, persistent acts of hope can ripple farther than we ever imagine.Download your free copy of Packets of Hope: https://www.packetsofhope.com/For more information, visit the episode webpage.
