Kim Hamer | Dealing with Loss, Being Resilient, Showing Up for Others, & 100 Acts of Love
“You just need to know you can outlast it.” – Art Hamer
EPISODE OVERVIEW:
Did you hear the one about the bratty teenager who had to learn the hard way? You know, the one who moved out of her parents house in high school because of the strained relationship she had with her father. Today’s guest not only talks openly to us about her journey through the early years of life (the highs, the lows, and everything in between), but also about losing her husband to cancer and at early age as an adult. How she got down, depressed, turned to alcoholism and food addiction.
That’s not where her story ends though. Today she’s an HR expert, a consultant, a coach, and an author. And as you’re going to see in this episode, her journey here was not without dark moments. She considered suicide, taking her kids with her, and so much more. This episode is packed! It’s positive, it’s real, it’s raw, it’s upbeat, it’s fun, but it’s also really serious and touching filled with 100 acts of love. Ladies & Gentlemen, welcome to the Kim Hamer story!
GUEST BIO:
On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions “acts of love”.
After the death of her husband, Kim, an HR leader, noticed how little guidance leaders received when navigating cancer, health crisis, or death on their team. She knew their lack of knowledge negatively affected morale, employee engagement, and productivity. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched her business to support leaders and coworkers when cancer (or any health crisis) affects a team member.
Kim Hamer is the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend’s Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss, an easy-to-read book filled with 100 practical, quick, and effective ways to support a friend or coworker.
