Derek Avery describes himself as a curious, fidgety, silly-hearted husband and father who has been inadvertently following his heart for years. From retail banking to energy efficiency work, from volunteer youth worker to worship music band leader, from personal development to spiritual formation, he has been on a journey of understanding about how he wants to be in this world, and has found that the key may be starting with vulnerability and self acceptance.
Derek is the host of the Badass Vulnerability podcast where he challenges societal expectations and questions what it means to be authentically open and aware. In this episode, Derek examines how he navigates family dynamics amidst chronic pain, the power of resilience and endurance, and how he finds ways to still be of service to others.
