About this episode
Episode 165 of heCast features Camille Ellis in a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, self-trust, emotional survival, reinvention, and what it takes to choose yourself after life falls apart.
Camille Ellis is a Certified Life Coach, speaker, and resilience mentor who helps people rise after devastating loss.

In this episode, Mike and Camille talk about what it means to keep going after unimaginable loss. Camille shares how grief can consume a person when it is left unprocessed, but also how awareness, self-love, honest reflection, and small intentional choices can become the beginning of healing.
This conversation explores the emotional storms that come with grief, heartbreak, major life changes, and the moments when people feel broken, stuck, or lost. Camille shares practical insight on interrupting negative thought patterns, learning how to pause before reacting, choosing a healthier perspective, and rebuilding a life that feels honest and fulfilling after everything changes.
Camille also speaks about the courage it took to leave a long marriage at 60 and begin again. Her story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is possible at any age, and that choosing yourself does not mean giving up on others. Sometimes it is the first step toward finally living with clarity, strength, and truth.
This episode is for anyone moving through grief, loss, heartbreak, loneliness, or a season of life that feels impossible to navigate. It is also for anyone who needs the reminder that pain does not have to be the end of the story. With support, intention, and self-trust, it can become the beginning of something new.
