Our guest today is Maureen Geraghty, CEO of In the Flow and a good friend of both Isabel and I for many years. Now I have done over one hundred podcasts over the last 6 years, but this podcast definitely ranks way up there.
25 years ago, on September 11, 2001, what we all call 9-11, Maureen lost a brother and a brother-in-law in those attacks, both New York City Firefighters who were in the building rescuing people when the towers collapsed. She then later lost another brother just a few years ago from cancer as a result of the environmental effects from that day. Overall there were 2,977 immediate deaths and over 10,000 related deaths since as a result of that attack. Maureen and her family tragically suffered what I cannot even imagine. But despite the horrific loss Maureen has been able to turn that loss and grief into something loving and positive that’s making an impact on those around her and that’s what this podcast (and her event) are all about.
Mark & Isabel visited the Freedom Tower Memorial and Maureen’s Brother’s memorial.
“The intention isn't to erase what happened or tell anyone how they should feel about 9/11. It is to create a space where, 25 years later, we can remember, honor, heal—and perhaps consciously choose again.” On September 11, 2026, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Maureen is presenting an event she named “The Choice on 9/12: A Healing Experience” at New Vision Center for Spiritual Living in Phoenix. This will also be live streamed. Maureen is a Licensed Spiritual Practitioner, coach, speaker, and facilitator, she creates spaces for people to explore what might be possible when they see themselves—and their lives—in a new way. Drawing from her own life experiences, Maureen shares stories that illuminate the love and connection that unite us all.
For 25 years, Maureen hasn't publicly told this story in this way & this 25th anniversary feels like the right time for her to share the story of her family’s profound loss and the extraordinary love that emerged from the darkness. Through story, music, reflection, and healing, we’ll remember what brought us together—and discover what 9/12 still has to teach us at the event below.
