”Now, every time I witness a strong person, I want to know: What dark did you conquer in your story? Mountains do not rise without earthquakes.” (Katherine MacKenett) We all experience hard times but those troubles can create depth of character, resilience, empathy, and so much more--if we let them work within us for that purpose. Join me and a variety of guests every Thursday as we talk about our identity within motherhood through the lens of adversity.
