Glimpses of Me - Straight Talk after Loss
Hello everyone, and welcome to Glimpses of Me.
Glimpses of Me is an unedited journey through my life after the loss of my 12-year-old daughter in 2010 and my husband in 2015. Just as my writings are raw, in-the-moment, and unedited, this podcast will be too—because that’s how real life is.
I invite you to follow along as I navigate life after loss. My world has changed so much over the past 14 years, and every day I strive to grow and mold myself into a better human. My hope is to inspire you to live a life filled with passion and purpose, even after profound loss. Remember, your loved one is cheering you on every step of the way.
With that being said, welcome to Glimpses of Me.
