Welcome to The Unapologetic Third Act, where we celebrate the power and resilience of women over 50. Today, we have Dana Lewis, the fiery host of the podcast 'Stop Faking Fine.'
Dana is a true powerhouse. As an engineer, she's no stranger to problem-solving, and when tragedy struck her family, she sought answers that led her to the powerful teachings she shares today. After losing her fit husband and father of her three sons to cancer just one month after his diagnosis, Dana was nearly overcome with grief and the mental weight of raising a family alone. But rather than let it defeat her, she channeled that pain into purpose.
So, let's dive in and hear from the one and only Dana Lewis.
