Skylar opens up about the guilt of growing after loss - wondering if the best things in her life, like her TEDx Talk, getting into her dream college, and this podcast, only happened because her brother Sam died. Skylar asks the hard questions many grievers are afraid to voice: Would I be who I am if my brother hadn’t died? Do I only stand out because of my grief?


 If you’ve ever felt guilt for growing after loss, or wondered whether it’s okay to thrive in the aftermath of tragedy, this episode is for you.
