Emily opens up about growing up in a strict fundamentalist Baptist household in the San Francisco Bay Area, the anxiety and panic attacks that pushed her out of a banking career and into therapy, coaching, and eventually writing, and the Book That Changed Her Life: The Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller. She and Chris go deep on why grief and gratitude are inseparable rather than opposites, the case for becoming &quot;an advocate for grief&quot; instead of tidying it away, the importance of grief rituals and letting our sorrow be witnessed, and the hard-won truth that life can be both devastating and beautiful at the same time. #booksthatchangedmylife #books #library #bookrecs #bookreport #interview #podcast #chrisbulldogcollins 🚨 Grab the coolest book &amp;amp; library tees, socks, hoodies &amp;amp; more! https://booksthatchangedmylife.org/collections/all Books That Changed My Life https://www.booksthatchangedmylife.org <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/41928425/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/203710615
