In this episode, I sit down with Erin P.S. Zimmerman, who talks about her three significant encounters with grief that changed her life.
As you’ll hear in this episode, the first was losing her brother Nathan at birth, the second was losing her friend Bruno to police brutality on his wedding night, and the third was losing her best friend – her Granny.
Erin has an incredible perspective on grief and I know you will find this episode moving and enlightening.
Erin is the owner of EZ Visibility, where she serves as The Visibility Strategist, as well as a video and podcast producer, helping marginalized voices create fun, sustainable action plans to grow their brand and make a name for themselves.
