Lyndie Irons ~ one of the most calm natured and kind women I've had the honor of speaking to, had an introduction to motherhood that was surrounded by tragedy. She lost her first husband at 8 months pregnant and had a very big role ahead of her as a new mom and dad. She graciously shares her story of new motherhood, through to deep motherhood as her son is nearing his 10th year. This episode is a very emotional one and a very strong one, dipped with the honesty and the sisterhood we all need. She shares with us her journey of parenting through loss and how her and her son have navigated their relationship with openness and vulnerability, forging an incredibly special bond that units them. She also shares with us the lessons she's learned from mothering for 9 years and the hurdles she's had to overcome as her boy grows into his own human. Lyndie, you are wonderful, i'm deeply thankful to you and your son for opening your doors to us. Lyndie also runs the Andy Irons Foundation (in honor of her late husband) where they focus on impactful, community-based programs for kids that address debilitating conditions like mental illness, addiction and learning disabilities. They strive to create a world where no child struggles alone. For information on how to get involved or to see what else they do, please check them out here: https://andyironsfoundation.org/
