Stop Faking Fine
Welcome to the Stop Faking Fine podcast, a show that will empower you to finally show up for yourself. Your host, Dana Lewis, was the queen of faking fine after losing her husband unexpectedly to cancer.
We all create walls around us in order to survive the chaos of grief--whether it's caused by the death of a loved one, loss of a job, divorce, or anything that makes us wonder "how did this become my life?"
Dana is here to encourage you not to settle! In this podcast, she shares insight, strategies, and interviews with people who have been down these stressful roads, replaced their unhealthy patterns, and learned to thrive!
Dana will help you recognize and let go of the habits that are no longer serving you, and provide simple sustainable action steps to implement with each episode. It’s time to stop faking fine, because you are worth so much more.
Your circumstances may not be 100% your fault, but Your Life is 100% your Responsibility.

EP35. Grief is weird and brutal; and can be suffocating. In this episode, I open up about the moment I became a widow and the hard moments that followed. I stuffed my dead husband’s ashes in a closet. True story.
I share some deeply personal experiences to encourage you to stop stuffing whatever it is you don’t want to face and recognize you are not alone. I’m being totally honest because I know now that it is critical to confront our feelings so you don’t spend years ‘faking fine.’
Cancer may have killed my husband, but faking fine almost killed me. My cortisol levels were out of control and I couldn’t figure out how to prioritize myself in the overwhelm of loss. What I’ve learned can help you survive challenges better than I did. What I share in this podcast will help you fight for YOU.
Take my hand; I’ll walk you through it.
