What’s the one pain that changed you forever?
Deborah Marini could have chosen either one of the TWO house fires that destroyed her belongings and triggered a spiral into depression.
But her response was quick and assured: It was her father’s death that changed her forever.
We all know our aging parents will eventually transition; this is the cycle of life. But the constructs that make us “us” are often challenged when facing this inevitable loss. Some of the gems of this interview include:
- The choice to carry joyful luggage or lug around a boulder from life’s experiences.
- The power of equal energy exchange, leading to resilience.
- Making sense of loss; finding the lesson and sinking into it.
- Talking to your sadness and letting go of who you think you are “supposed” to be.
- Not needing to know “why” but to follow your instincts as they are presented to you.
