#27 with Kierren Robinson: Finding your identity in the aftermath of grief, why early intervention is the way for young people and climbing mountains in search of universal truths

On this episode of The Ebbs and The Flows, Soft Chats about Hard Stuff, Kierren Robinson is a boxer, the founder of Awakened Warrior - a mentoring and coaching platform to connect people to a greater truth, a husband and a quiet leader seeking to find his voice.

We discuss empathy, compassion, leadership and the unending journey of grief on another Soft Chat about Hard Stuff. Kierren's beautiful 'Note To Self' is one of the highlights of this episode featuring 'Me and The World on a Page', 'The 90 Second Nugget', 'Weird Fishes' and 'The Art of The List' amongst many other topics we cover with the quiet leader.
