Summary

In December, we walk our talk, and I take some time off recording to be with my family and recharge before next year. So I've re-released for you the most popular episodes of the past six months. These are the episodes you loved to share with friends, you emailed about and deemed to be the most helpful. This week we have the incredible Donna Lancaster back on the show. You love her first episode, so I hope you'll love this one even more. Donna has worked as a coach, a group facilitator and a therapist for more than 30 years - I cannot tell you how much I respect Donna and her work. This is one of those episodes it's going to make you think, it's going to make you cry, and it's going to put a lot in perspective. Donna talks about: Forgiving herself for how she was in the early years of her children's lives. How much she struggled in those early days, including experiencing some pretty graphic intrusive thoughts How allowing herself to grieve unlocked so much healing and forgiveness I'm so excited for you to hear this one.
