Mortal Chats with writer and podcaster Jule Kucera

When Jule came home from work one day and found her partner, Trent—who had post traumatic stress disorder and was suicidal—dead at the age of 46, her world imploded. 

Eventually, she began blogging to help herself through the wilderness of grief and then turned that writing into a memoir, Sweet Baby Lover.

Most recently, she launched Hard Times & Hope, a podcast about life’s toughest challenges and how to navigate them.

For this episode of my Mortal Chat series, Jule and I dove deep into some of her hardest times—including her efforts to revive Trent, the ways in which her grief changed over the years, and how childhood trauma and suicidal thoughts shaped both Trent’s life and hers.
