Grieving

No one ever said life is easy. Hello! I'm Julie. I’m just like you. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. I have navigated through alcoholism, divorce, caregiving, blending families, as well as purposely discovering and owning my truth. Biggest life lesson? When you give yourself permission, you will find that you have more control over your life than you realize. &nbsp;I hope you will join me by taking responsibility for yourself, by only controlling the things you can and letting go of the things you can't. By doing this, you will have discovered the secret to having happy, healthy and more fulfilling relationships. Together, building a community, no matter where you live, will change your life. One person, one story, at a time. ❤️ &nbsp;Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments or if YOU want to share your own story with me! <a href="mailto:julierogers@nearestanddearestpodcast.com">julierogers@nearestanddearestpodcast.com</a>&nbsp; I would like to give a shout out to Andreas Wohlfahrt, he is the photographer 📸 whose image I chose from Pexels, the photo of heart-shaped balloon, to be my podcast cover. The music 🎶 I chose to use for my podcast was composed and played by The Lost Harmony. Please check out his music!&nbsp;<a href="mailto:julierogers@nearestanddearestpodcast.com">Email Me! Send me any suggestions or comments or to say hello! </a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/TheLostHarmony">The Lost Harmony's music!</a>
