Does your life path sometimes feel like a wild obstacle course with unforeseen changes and challenges at every turn? If you've encountered unexpected shifts in your relationships, work life, finances, or health, you know how daunting and stressful they can be. Yet when we learn to embrace the hurdles life brings us, we can use them to shape our stories and path in life.
Today, I'm joined by Dr. Rebecca N. Thompson, a fabulous family medicine and public health physician and author, who will offer her wit and wisdom on growing and making meaning from the changes life brings our way. Topics discussed include chosen family, life challenges, medical issues, vulnerability, stories, meaning, self-development, marriage, children, dreams, connection, friendships, change, new experiences, sadness, and hope.
