28. Grieving and Growing with Emery Lewis

I invited Emery Lewis, the Pro Bono Director at Legal Assistance of Western New York and fellow podcast host, to explore the nuances of grief and personal growth with me. We share a candid conversation about grief's lasting impact, especially following personal losses, like Emery's grandfather. Emery recounts his transformative journey from anger and performance-driven living to a slower, more family-focused life. We discuss cultural expectations, emotional expression, and learning from life's curveballs. The conversation underscores the continual process of grieving and growing, offering listeners a window into embracing life's changes and listening to one's heart. Emery’s wisdom, intertwined with anecdotes from his life, provides valuable takeaways about love, loss, and living an examined life.
