This if for my dysfunctional, family where you are and all my ancestors. Thanks for teaching me life is a series of lessons, in love, and for some of us they can take a lifetime. This is about My life living beyond survival. We are all born into situations that seem familiar. I believe we choose them.

Life is often framed as a series of random events—being in the right place at the right time—but the true essence of our journey is defined by how we respond to the obstacles placed before us.

At 70 years old, I have been a survivor from before birth, and navigating life-threatening challenges from day one. The Umbilical cord wrapped around my neck to a near-drowning, and most recently, a grueling eight-yearbattle with cancer.

These experiences have caused me to be HSP hypersensitive, sharpened my instincts. They have also taught me a vital lesson: there is a profound difference between merely surviving and truly living.

This podcast is for those who have spent alifetime responding to chaos and are ready to move beyond the survival. I have chosen many dysfunctional people to love, with many addictions.

I lived with alcoholism, mental illness, and mother and father affected by PTSD and food addiction that was never treated.

I continue on my journey. Your welcome to join and listen, I would love to hear how you are living beyond survival or just living.

Join me as we explore how to break free from the cycle of victimization. We learn from our pasts, and finally step into a life defined bychoice rather than circumstance. If you are ready more, this is about sharing my life living daily in the present. Never forget you are loved!begin.
