Through These Hazel Eyes

When life throws you a curveball, just yell "Plot Twist!"

I got divorced...again! Hear some of the challenges that have happened in the three years since my last episode was released.

I have a special guest on this episode, my son Isaac.  He shares his perspective about what HE learned with my trip to Vegas and the marriage that fell apart so quickly.  We get a little philosophical in this one in trying to understand why things happen the way they do and what we can learn from our mistakes.

Welcome to Season 2!!! This episode shares insight into how I learned for myself that God loves me and knows me personally.  Of course, I had to learn it through a difficult personal experience, which I share with you. 

This episode gets into the finer details as to how the relationship I've been sharing about in previous episodes finally comes to an end. 

You'll hear more details on what led to the mental breakdown that I discussed in Episode 1 - all the dirty secrets that caused a serious division in my thoughts vs. my actions.  

What are expectations and how can they be detrimental to a relationship?  I discuss this with some examples of my own and others.  I also go into more detail on the timeline of how the relationship with my "special secret someone" overlapped with my cancer story.  And, I get a phone call from his wife...

Here's where I share the inside scoop on my bilateral mastectomy and the realization that my body will never be the same as it once was.  

In this episode I share feedback from one of my listeners and also share the emotional side of losing my hair during chemo that was much harder than I thought it would be.  I also discuss an uplifting Christmas story that helped me see there was still good in the world in an otherwise very difficult time in my life. 

In this episode, I share thoughts on an email sent to me from one of my listeners about the subject of morality and religion vs. culture found within religion.  I also share the specific details on how I found out I had Stage III Breast Cancer at 34 years old.   

I get very personal and share even more details about my biggest mistake.  I can't share how I came to know God loves me without sharing my difficult past and the choices I made that led me away from Him.  

In this episode, I share some details about my first marriage and some of the experiences that ultimately led to making the decision to get divorced.  We both played a role in the breakdown of the marriage and I share these stories to shed light on mistakes made on both sides. 

In this episode, I dig a little deeper into how to show yourself compassion when you feel like life is more than you can handle.  Stress is overwhelming at times, but we don't notice it as it creeps up on us until we're ready to break.  

Join me as I share some vulnerable experiences and how I found self love.
