This is the story of a man who chose his own name.
And this is the story of a name handed down from mother to daughter to son.

If Episode 19 was all about letting go of hurtful labels, this episode is about the importance of claiming a name.

Christie and Lisa-Jo return to their conversation in Episode 11 (When Life Feels Like a Series of Interruptions) to share more about the tragic loss of Christie's brother-in-law three years ago, and the legacy he left for his wife and young children. Lisa-Jo shares more about the loss of her mother, and the legacy of her name "Jo."

What's in a name? This conversation invites you to consider what a good gift a name can be and why it could be time for you to claim yours.

Listener invitation: We LOVE hearing from listeners. Tell us about your name! We would love to hear your story. Be sure and tag Lisa-Jo @lisajobaker and Christie @christiepurifoy  and use the hashtag #outoftheordinarypodcast
