It's natural to want to feel a sense of control over your  own life and the things around you. Being out of control can be scary, but when we tighten our grip on the people and situations around us, thing will start to slip through our fingers and show us that sometimes we cannot control the world around us.

This week's guest is Tamu Lewis. When tragedy struck, Tamu was forced to re-examine her life and the things she could and couldn't control. Tamu had to shift  her priorities. She has since founded the Positively Empowered Academy in the name of her brother who she lost to suicide. This work that has  given her a new meaning and brings her hope to empower parents and destigmatize the conversation around mental health.
