Ep. 12 - The Life I Choose w/ Preston Boling, April Driesse and John Christen
Our theme this month is “The Life I Choose.” So often, with a chronic condition, it can feel like nothing is within our control. That can be challenging physically, mentally, emotionally. Our stories this month dive into those challenges, as well as the empowerment that comes by taking charge of the things we can control. By reminding ourselves of the ways we can live the life we choose. Program Notes: Want to follow more of our Journeys?

Ep. 3 - Humor Me w/ Ria Peake, Tabitha White and Molly Livingstone
Three women, with three points of view from three different countries: the US, Great Britain and Israel. But one thing they shared? They all were able to approach their situation with a degree of humor. As mothers, daughters, and individuals - that sense of humor, ranging from laugh out loud to just an air of lightness, seems to make their load a bit more manageable.
