#109 On Living and Letting Go: A Conversation with my Grandma Barbara

2

This week, I bring you a conversation with my Grandma Barbara. From cleverly cheating on a vision test in order to become an airplane stewardess, to becoming a psychotherapist, sex and relationship therapist, and a Jungian therapist, to buying land in Colorado and building a cabin in the mountains, to raising her son (my Dad) and embracing his homosexuality from a young age, my Grandmother has lived her life with an open heart and open mind. We speak about her life, the lessons she's learned and how she's embracing the inevitability of death. If you've heard my Dad on the podcast (episode 21 and episode 73), this conversation will certainly add some depth and insight.

Song featured: "Good Woman" by the Staves and "Virginia in the Rain" by the Dave Matthews Band

This podcast isn’t about finding answers, it’s about asking the right questions. How can we reinvent ourselves and the narratives we’ve been expected to inherit? How can we take ownership over the ways we participate in our own suffering? How can we move beyond victimization and into empowerment? How can we fix ourselves to fix the world? It’s time for new dreams, new stories and new futures…
