Ep. 27 Solo for Mother's Day Weekend

I share what I do while in self-preservation mode, and how I get back into a space where I can feel the full spectrum of my emotions–without it consuming me. And of course, we talk about mothers and what that means to me as an adoptee this Mother's Day weekend. 

Material:
Poem by William Butler Yeats "Heaven's Embroidered Cloths"
