Why We Do What We Do: A Reintroduction

In this episode, EG is pulling back the curtain on how Lux came to be, the gaps they saw in supporting survivors, and the passion that keeps them going. From the rocky journey of starting a nonprofit as college students to the inspiring community they have built, this episode covers it all. She will also share her personal story—how her experiences shaped Lux, some fun facts about her, and, of course, a few moments of whiplash between serious and silly.

This episode explores the influence of powerful voices like Chanel Miller, the setbacks they have faced, and the incredible growth they’ve seen. Plus, there’s a sneak peek at what’s next for Lux in 2025 (trust us, it’s big). Whether you’re a first-time listener or a longtime supporter, this episode is packed with heart, humor, and hope. Let’s jump in!
