Chatting with Eve Simon about being a GenXer and grief part 1

Warning, this episode has adult language and includes the sensitive topic of grief. Gen X expert (because she is one) Eve Simon’s joins me to talk about the 80s, bacon, adventures in college, technology, and the passing of her father in the last year. Eve touched me with her honesty about facing death and the grief that comes after. Our conversation gets very personal about heartache and how different people deal with grief.
