Beyond the Loss: Life and Identity After a Child Dies
Over time, the conversations we choose to have begin to reflect what matters most.
If you’ve been part of this podcast, you’ve heard me speak about human development, systems thinking, and the ways we make meaning of our lives and work. That work continues—and remains at the core of my coaching and professional practice.
What has changed is the space where I am choosing to have a different kind of conversation.
After the death of my son, Michael, I felt called to create a more personal place—one that speaks directly to the experience of loss, and to the questions that emerge when life no longer looks the way it once did.
That space is now Beyond the Loss.
This podcast is for parents who have lost a child, and for those who support them. It is not about fixing grief or finding closure, but about understanding how we continue to live, to make meaning, and to become—after loss.
If you are looking for my current podcast,
you will now find me there.
I invite you to join me on Beyond the Loss.
You are welcome.

Jamie Seeker founded Seeker Solution to help entrepreneurs and business leaders learn, grow, and thrive. Customizable, holistic business solutions are offered to provide strategic support and result-driven tools that enable business owners, managers, and C-Levels to take their company to the next level. Seeker Solutions’ hands-on approach cultivates a synergetic environment to expertly assess, identify, develop, and execute a strategic business solution for each client and its company's operational needs.
Jamie’s mission was to create a holistic business concept that was more than business coaching or leadership development. She launched Seeker Solution with the mission to sharpen a business owner's personal skills and abilities, help accomplish their entrepreneurial vision, achieve their company's specific objectives, and accelerate their company's growth.
Jamie started off her career in operations management, so she understands because she's been there. And now that she has a business of her own, she connects with other owners through a common understanding of experiences that only we face in this role. Prior to starting Seeker Solution, no matter what company she was with or what level of management she was in, it was ALWAYS so much more than what one person should handle alone. She had many times throughout her journey where she felt overwhelmed and alone. It didn't matter how many hours she added to her workday, I could never seem to keep up and the load only got heavier and heavier.
This is why she started Seeker Solution. It took her stepping out and away from the hustle to realize that she didn't have to do it alone. And that what she went through and learned from could be repurposed to help others overcome those same obstacles.
