#28 Using Loss and Tragedy to Find and Reclaim our Authentic Selves with Sonya Lea

Sonya Lea is the author of Wondering Who You Are, a memoir about what happened when her husband lost the memory of their life together. Our conversation touches on the nature of identity - where it comes from, how its made and how it evolves. We discuss grief, sexuality, examining our lives inside and outside of chronological narrative + the many ways that loss and tragedy can be used as a means to find and evolve our authentic identity.  Sonya's Book Recommendation: The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch Find Sonya at WonderingWhoYouAre.com Song featured: "Morning" by Beck How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!
