What does it really mean to be lucky?

In this deeply moving episode of The Connection Code, we’re joined by author, grief writer, and patient advocate Kelly Cervantes, whose memoir The Luckiest challenges everything we think we know about fortune, success, and happiness.

Kelly shares her extraordinary story on navigating motherhood, caregiving, and devastating loss while her husband starred in Hamilton on Broadway and in Chicago. We talk about how luck is often just a snapshot of what others can see, how grief reshapes identity, and why community isn’t optional during life’s hardest chapters.

This conversation explores:

Why “luck” is often a matter of perspective
How female friendships can become lifelines
The grief of losing an identity — not just a person
Letting go of control and learning to surrender
Why connection matters most when life feels unbearable

Kelly’s reflections are honest, funny, devastating, and deeply human. This conversation is a powerful reminder that none of us move through life alone.
