#26 Wounds to Wisdom: Surviving the Loss of a Child (with Greg Linkowski, MD)
<p>In this episode, Ian sits down with <strong>Dr. Greg Linkowski, </strong>a retired diagnostic radiologist, life coach, and author of <em>Dare to Thrive</em>.</p><p>Greg describes himself as a "piece of work" and a "work in progress." But his story is one of profound resilience. </p><p>We go deep into his life from growing up in a home defined by his father’s WWII PTSD to the crushing heartbreak of losing his son, David, to a rare developmental disorder.</p><p>This isn’t a conversation about toxic positivity. It’s about "blissful combat" in marriage, the reality of grief, and how to transform your wounds into wisdom. </p><p>If you are walking through a dark valley right now, Greg’s perspective on faith and perseverance is the light you need.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Greg:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Website:</strong><a href="https://www.growingwithgreg.net/"> www.<u>growingwithgreg.net</u></a></p></li><li><p><strong>Book:</strong> <em>Dare to Thrive: Lessons Learned from a Trauma Survivor</em> (Available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1961093928?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_FZ225P5PSWB122XH20ST&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_FZ225P5PSWB122XH20ST&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_FZ225P5PSWB122XH20ST&bestFormat=true&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacbbE5renV7rQtEddsRquzIiolCOxyV0xxSQPt6t23ekewvphiqtN0pruRY6Q_aem_meTqZ0qh91PpHnNNt0V3ZQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Amazon</a> & <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dare-to-thrive-greg-linkowski-md/1147086620?ean=9781961093928 " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Barnes & Noble</a>) </p></li><li><p><strong>Follow Greg on IG:</strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegreglinkowski_m.d/"><u> @thegreglinkowski_m.d</u></a></p></li></ul><p><a href="http://lnkz.app/dpvk"><u>📱</u><strong> Download the GMHGM App</strong><u></u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.gmhgm.com/"><u></u><strong>🌐 Explore GMHGM </strong><u></u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/w_illo_/"><u>👨🏻🦲 </u><strong>Connect with Ian</strong><u></u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/good.men.helping.good.men/"><u>🤝 </u><strong>GMHGM on Instagram</strong><u></u></a></p><p>––––––––––––––</p><p><strong>GMHGM is part of The Artistry of Humanity </strong>— helping men build fulfilment through the Five Pillars: Health & Fitness | Inner Work | Love & Relationships | Social Connections | Work & Life Flow</p><p><br></p>
