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.

The Power of Storytelling—How to Share Your Story Better
EP38. What do you do when someone shares a sad story? Katie Quesada is an amazing storytelling coach. I’ve had the pleasure of attending her workshops. When I saw a social media post she did a few weeks ago, it literally stopped me dead in my tracks.
We’ve all had a moment when someone shares a deep loss with us and we don’t know what to say. Or maybe you’ve been on the other side. You share a loss with someone and they stumble through a response.
In this episode Katie shares how both sides can do better! She walks us through what it looks like to be present and lean in with the right kinds of questions and understanding. You’ll learn to love your friends and family better when they need it most and how you can share your pain in a way that will help others support you.
I know you’re going to love this conversation!
