Podcast co-creator Mary Lou Singleton tells the story of healing her chronic asthma in our third episode. Born needing resuscitation, Mary Lou was born out of breath. She also didn't have the chance to bond with her mother in the first three days of life. Expressing her own and the grief of her lineage began early, through her weak lungs, asthma, and painful eczema. When wheezing for breath and covered in rashes, she got attention from her mother. She finally had the chance to bond with her mother and receive the nurturance they had both always longed for, only as her mother was dying of cancer. Mary Lou picked up a heavy smoking habit to hold and process her grief, which only exacerbated the disease. It was a long road to recovery, but however bitter the medicine, it brought Mary Lou healing for much more than her asthma.
