Conversations with Self: A Father's Journey Through Grief

Conversations with Self: A Father's Journey Through Grief

Greg Nywa joins me to explore the profound impact of trauma and mental health. Greg shares his remarkable journey, from growing up on a ranch to facing devastating personal losses, including the heartbreaking suicide of his son Brandon during the COVID-19 pandemic. What struck me most was Greg's incredible resilience and his commitment to turning grief into purpose by creating the Beach Project, a mental health education initiative.

We unpack the importance of vulnerability, the power of self-conversation, and the critical need for proactive mental health support. Greg's story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to find meaning in the most challenging circumstances. Through our conversation, we hope to shed light on the often-overlooked emotional toll of trauma and inspire others to seek help and support.
