Meet our guest:

Lynn Lewis is a Certified Grief Educator, speaker, author, and the Visionary & Chief Empathy Officer of Destined To Thrive Grief Coaching. A respected leader in grief education and coaching, Lynn empowers individuals to navigate life after profound loss with purpose and resilience.
Following the death of her son in August 2019, Lynn made a conscious decision: it would be a part of her life for the rest of her life, but it would not consume her. She openly shares her personal journey through her signature message, “I Choose to Live in the Aftermath,” inspiring others to embrace self-love, honor their loved ones, and find a path forward that is unique to them.

Lynn specializes in supporting adults who are ready to reclaim meaning and impact in their lives despite loss. Her compassionate approach reassures clients that while grief never disappears, they are not alone—and they can still live fulfilling, meaningful and purposeful lives.

A sought-after speaker and advocate, Lynn has dedicated over 20 years to nonprofit service, including leadership roles with organizations such as the former Susan G. Komen Central VA Affiliate, The READ Center, and Circles RVA. She currently volunteers with Full Circle Grief Center and Urban Hope,furthering her commitment to grief support and community healing.

After a distinguished 39-year career in the automobile claims industry, Lynn is now devoted to her life’s mission: breaking the stigma around grief and suicide loss, fostering open conversations, and equipping individuals with the tools to heal and thrive.

She resides in Richmond, VA, USA, with her husband, Keith, and finds immense joy in heartfelt conversations over a cup of tea—never imagining that her own grief journey would become a vital part of those discussions.
