Kathleen picked up smoking as a teenager, but over time, it no longer aligned with the healthy, intentional life she wanted to create. After 25 years of smoking and many attempts to quit, a health scare landed her in the ER and became the catalyst for lasting change. Now, 30 years smoke-free, Kathleen shares how she’s shaped a new identity since letting go of smoking and how that choice has supported her in living more fully.
