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.

Emery Lewis is a dedicated legal professional with a background in conflicts of interest and pro bono program development. A Rochester native, he earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science from St. John Fisher University and a Juris Doctorate from The University of Buffalo Law School. Emery's passion for life is deeply rooted in his ethos of paying it forward, authenticity, hard work, and integrity. On his journey with grief, Emery discovered the power of vulnerability and how it provides a safe space for healing. In his spare time, he serves on several boards, and enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and their son, cooking, playing golf, and podcasting.
