It's been 3.5 years since I released my first podcast into the world. I had underestimated my own capacity and bandwidth at the beginning of what would turn out to be a very lengthy pandemic. In other words, it lasted more than a "few weeks." A lot has changed in my life since then. I'm sure you can relate.

I believe people become an authority on their pain if they choose to face it. The purpose of this podcast is to introduce you to those who have faced their edge of truth, jumped in and trusted who they would become on the other side. It's a collection of conquerers who have found their freedom in hopes that you find yours.

My second guest is Christina Ryan-Stolz, a master bodyworker, writer, folk herbalist, founder of SHEskool and the forever mother of Isaac Ryan-McKinnon. Isaac died by suicide 9 years ago. She has chosen, repeatedly to face her life every day without him. The most rebellious act of all - to live when she lost her purpose, her boy.

Join us today as we talk about Isaac's choice and the daily choices Christina has made to carry her loss. She now supports others in their healing as a somatic educator and breathwork facilitator.
