You've heard the phrase, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade". Does your soul reject it?!? This week's guest Heidi hated the phrase for a long time. So how did her podcast become all about it?Heidi hosts a show very similar to mine where people come share their Lemon to Lemonade stories. She let me come on her show and share mine. As I shared my story I wondered, "what lemon to lemonade story was on the other side of the microphone?"Naturally, she's here to share her story. The lemon to lemonade story that was beyond her "white picket fence" surprised me. We were halfway through the interview and she shared the memory of finding out her father committed suicide. With suicide awareness day just passing, it was perfect timing to share this message. We need to reach out to one another. Life can get overwhelming and no one is handed just one lemon. We really get an entire lemon tree of problems. How did she turn her lemons in to lemonade? Let's go beyond the white picket fence to find out.Suicide Hotline Call 988988lifeline.orgListen to Heidi's LemonAid Stand https://open.spotify.com/show/0DPrElpaHX85ICAGfWgTlvConnect with Heidihttps://www.heidislemonaidstand.com/?fbclid=IwAR3ZzJVY6LnxBi4Dgq3qfMc_p0_vA_KdGzbe-oCAXB8riY7qTNPfIU4nb9QJoin the Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/beyondthepicketfenceConnect with Me (Chelsea)Instagram @beyondwithchelseaEmail [email protected]

Something really scary happened last week and it made me really have to consider boundaries. As an empath it's easy for me to love and see everyone's side of the story. But sometimes loving people from a distance is the safer option. Let's talk about what happened and discuss BOUNDARIES!Send me a voice message on Instagram or Facebook with your take on boundaries. I want to hear your advice and/or stories. How did you learn the importance of setting boundaries?Join the Beyond the Picket Fence Community HereRemember to Share your favorite story with at least one person this week, let's work together to get to 500 downloads an episode and work towards sponsorships so we can continue to hear these stories and cultivate a compassionate world!
