Grief doesn’t have to be the end of your story — it can be the beginning of a new one.

In this powerful episode of Wins + Lessons, host Leron Gaskins sits down with Fhonia Ellis, a fashion designer who lost her mother while chasing her career dreams. Instead of letting grief break her, Fhonia used it as a tool to build faith, resilience, and purpose.

Co-host Alexis also opens up about losing her mom just last year, making this conversation an emotional yet uplifting reminder that healing is possible — and grief can be transformed into growth.

This is not an episode about sadness. It’s about turning pain into power and finding purpose after loss.
