In this episode, Lisa chats with Marnie Temple an artist and former professor who found a calling to set up an artist residency in the wilderness of British Columbia after losing her husband to cancer. Marnie brings to this conversation honesty, vulnerability and her truth. She shares with us the beginnings of setting up the residency with her partner Jim, processing grief and learning how to answer the question, "What next?" after losing a partner or spouse. She also shares with us her experience of being a bi-racial woman adopted by white parents and learning as an adult to find herself again through other adult women of color. This episode does not hold back and shares so many personal truths from both women who start the episode as strangers, but end as friends.
