Nearest And Dearest Podcast - Bridging Family Dynamics
No one ever said life is easy. Hello! I'm Julie. I’m just like you. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. I have navigated through alcoholism, divorce, caregiving, blending families, as well as purposely discovering and owning my truth.
Biggest life lesson? When you give yourself permission, you will find that you have more control over your life than you realize.
I hope you will join me by taking responsibility for yourself, by only controlling the things you can and letting go of the things you can't. By doing this, you will have discovered the secret to having happy, healthy and more fulfilling relationships.
Together, building a community, no matter where you live, will change your life. One person, one story, at a time. ❤️
