Scarlett Lewis is the mother of 6 year old Jesse Lewis, one of the children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in the deadliest mass shooting at an elementary school in U.S. history. In the years since her son’s tragic murder, Scarlett has dedicated her life to the prevention of school shootings, and her work has reached people all over the world with its insightful, compassionate, and practical messaging, putting front and center the person desperate enough to commit such a heinous crime: a human being in pain.


In this episode, we talk about:


  • What the first moments and days post-shooting were like.
  • The roles that shock and love play during trauma.
  • Returning home after the shooting.
  • The process of forgiveness and healing.
  • How all school shootings are preventable.
