S16E3 Author Larry Freborg 3-10-26

At age 40, life as Larry Freeborg knew it, ended in a single week. Just after Christmas in 1979, he lost his wife to leukemia — and days later, his job of 18 years. Suddenly, he was a widowed father of four, with no income and no roadmap forward.

What followed wasn’t a quick recovery, but a decades-long journey of learning how to grieve, how to lead with love, and how to rediscover hope in the face of unimaginable loss. Along the way, he discovered a simple but powerful truth: no matter what life takes away, you are always at choice.

Today, he is the author of Always At Choice and the founder of Stepping Through the Gate, a wise-elder coaching service. Through his writing and coaching, he helps individuals move from significant losses into a place of healing, renewal, and fully engaged life possibilities. He also partners with business leaders to clarify what they want to create in the workplace — working side by side to navigate challenges and unlock solutions. Larry’s mission is simple yet profound: to remind others that while loss changes everything, it never takes away the power to choose, to heal, to grow, and to live again.
