PLEASE EXCUSE THE AUDIO IRREGULARITIES IN SOME PARTS OF THIS EPISODE.
Welcome to Season 2! In this week’s episode it’s my turn to get personal. Kateri Ross LMFT is our host and I am the guest. As a twice married mom of a 21 & 15 year old, I am opening up and taking you back to the very beginning. From childhood to my first marriage at 20, to my divorce & second marriage to my husband Mark, I describe the dichotomy of living in an affluent town while growing up with very little means. I talk about becoming a single mom and starting over, then later the onset of a chronic illness.
Up until my early thirties I was extremely type-A. I loved working and the idea that I would eventually end up a partially disabled stay-at-home mom was something I never anticipated, nor did I expect that it would be my best work.
I was diagnosed with lyme disease and was in and out of a wheelchair for 2 years. After a series of failures amid a decade long quest to “go back to normal” I made the choice to turn inward. I spent 5 years focused primarily on my family & health, and all but ended any remnants left of a social life. I stopped chasing down professional success and physical validation from the outside world, and I did the work.
As the host of Humanity Unlocked we thought it was time for you to get to know me just a little bit better. In this episode I tell you the highs, the lows and everything in between. It’s me, raw & unfiltered. But before we dive into my srory I give you an update on a new feature we’ve added to the show in Season 2!
