Enduring Loss with Holly Chapple

Enduring Loss with Holly Chapple

Author: Scott Shepherd, Host and Flower Educator December 12, 2022 Duration: 1:08:17

This is the time of year we're all surrounded by people, decorating, shopping for presents, attending parties, and of course, spending time with family. This time of year may be quite tough for some people for a variety of reasons. This week, I contacted Holly Chapple. Holly is well-known for her wedding and events, her Chapple designer community, FlowerStock, her partnership with Syndicate Sales, and so much more.

I'm honored that she's been on our podcast three times before, and this year has been really tough for Holly and her whole family with the loss of her husband Evan in June. Because so many people care about the Chapple family, I reached out to her to ask if she was okay with providing us an update on how they're doing and what's in store for them in 2023.

Today, Holly discusses some of her experiences throughout this crisis, including the process of picking up the pieces and how they're attempting to move ahead. Today isn't so much about flowers as it is about life and coping with enormous loss. Thank you for being so courageous Holly.
