About this episode: We’ll start the conversation around chosen family: mother figures, father figures, “siblings” and other important people in our lives. I’ll also be talking about Cheryl Strayed’s book, Wild.

I lost both parents to cancer at 22 and 27. Let’s talk about stuff that’s hard, ways you can move forward in your life and how to get back to a happier place. My intention is to connect those of us who have lost our mothers, our fathers or both parents, at any age, through art, writing, and focusing on the positive.
