Importance of Choice
06/14/23 • 41 min
Choice is fundamental to our human existence. This week I talk about how choice has affected my personal autonomy, my self-expression, how it's empowered me, helped me to learn and grow, and how it's also a responsibility that I have to myself and those around me. Choice saved my life... understanding that loss and grief wasn't happening to me, and that I had a choice in what I do with it has made all the difference.

Highlight Reel
Parenting is a FULL TIME job that never ends... it can feel impossible to think we are ever doing something right... or when we do something well, the game changes and our kiddos require something different. Today, on the upcoming 5 year anniversary of my son Lincoln's passing, I take some time to discuss some of my parenting highlights through 2023 that have been inspired by him and his impact.
If you'd like to share something you're proud of, have thoughts/ideas for a topic, would like to be a guest to talk about your own journey, or just want to send Lincoln a note, please do so! [email protected].
