Twenty-one years ago, Trudi Roth stood on my lawn + told me I needed to write a book. I didn’t write the book. I started this show instead. Trudi + I have been friends through all of it.

I’m back. After more than two years away, I’m returning to the podcast I’ve been hosting since 2006.

When you were younger, did you ever believe that having money or a specific job would shield you from life’s challenges? Do you ever find yourself thinking that once you get what you’re working towards, things will be easier? As we navigate through life, we face unexpected difficulties. Loss, empty nesting, challenges at work – […]
