“Embrace the suck.” Not quite what I expected to hear from Marine widow Erin Nichols as she opens up about her commitment as a young wife of a deployed soldier, her husband Sam’s catastrophic injury while serving in Iraq, and their 13-year journey after his traumatic brain injury.
With humor and a crazy level of wisdom and instinct that comes only with pain and vulnerability – Erin and I talk about what it is like to build your own life for the first time. AND she is building something incredible, having lived through more than most before the age of 40.
