What if times of extreme change or even trauma was exactly what you needed for personal growth. In essence, this is the question that Megan Mcdowell leaves us all to ask ourselves. After losing a brother in law in the 911 world trade center attacks, Megan was able to stand witness to and experience the rich experience of community that can come when “we are all on our knees at the same time”. A few years later she founded Heartworks NJ, a foundation that helps people recover through the early stages of trauma, grief, and loss. During the episode, Megan shares an uplifting perspective that we can all use to see the beauty and learn the lessons that a global crisis can bring.  Her timeless message of truth, kindness to oneself, and those around you is something we can all be reminded of.
