I Was On Courageous Wordsmith!

I had the absolute honor to join author, story mentor, and certified master coach Amy Hallberg on her podcast, Courageous Wordsmith for Episode 38 Perfectly Imperfectly Paradigm Shifts. I love Courageous Wordsmith Podcast because Amy is an expert at having honest conversations that come from the heart, and she approaches whatever subject she encounters with wisdom and bravery. That’s why I was delighted when I opened my email this August to see an invitation from Amy to join her in conversation.

It’s been two months since my birthday, and I’m still enjoying my favorite present. It was from my husband. He gifted me a digital subscription to the New York Times. The articles are largely well-written, and I already feel smarter now that I’m not limited to 10 free articles per month (per browser).  But IContinue reading “The Professionalism of Caregivers”
